Feel bad for Sato though...Dario just gave him absolutely no room.

Exactly...Just my opinion not patient enough, he should have waited and I think he would have taken him coming off 4 to the line. :dontknow:

I just can't believe how close it was to taking both of them out. wow!!

I fully agree. It's the last lap of the Indy 500! I would've made my car as wide as possible that lap. After watching the replay, it did actually look as if Dario did try to move up a little bit. At that rate of speed, and closing rates of cars passing, it appeared he committed to his line and Takuma Sato was right there. Before Sato began to spin, Dario does move up a little so I don't think he pinched or didn't give him room. Sato needed to wait another 3/4 of a lap, and he more than likely would have won.

This year's race was exciting with all the lead changes!
