Add to that the excruciating TV commentary! I'd rather hear Varsha, Hobbs, and Matchett.

But you must admit that Helio's story this past year is pretty amazing.

It might even outrank Jenson Button's rise from the ashes.

Just because he won Dancing With The Stars??? Or that little tax evasion thing?

I just can't get over "The Indy 500 is THE biggest spectacle in racing!!!" "It's the most prestigious race in the world!!!" "Drivers would rather win one Indy 500 than win 10 championships!!!"

The Indy 500 isn't even the most prestigious race of the weekend.

All in all I think both races are way to over hyped. I haven't missed monaca or indy for many years but honestly they are both boring. Monaco this year was horrendous I thought with Indy being just as bad. They both have no action, no passing, all pit lane give and take and I hate that...

Monaco was pretty boring to this year.. The race was over early and Vettel killed me in fantasy with some of the worst driving I have ever seen out of him... It was like he was never mentally in the race.
