Fernando Alonso Kills Two Birds With One IndyCar
Fernando Alonso Kills Two Birds With One IndyCar-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:23

Fortunately, Alonso’s test has gone well so far, as he quickly knocked out the required rookie practice laps this morning. He started to test out some of the limits of the car, locking up the wheels of his IndyCar as he entered the pit lane to figure out exactly how much he can shorten that braking distance.

Unfortuantely, two birds are not doing so well. I’m quite sure those birds have ceased to be after getting hit by a car that’s been laying down average lap speeds of over 222 mph. Rest in peace, good birds of Indy.

You died for a—ah, what am I saying? Don’t fly that close to the track, birds. That’s a bad bird decision.
