Maybe Lewis Hamilton was right.
The three-time Formula 1 world champion was critical of the standard of driving in IndyCars after Fernando Alonso's performance at last month's Indy 500.
The driving standards at today's race in Texas backed up the Brit's argument as one driver after another made mistakes that
took out innocent bystanders and had a big influence on the championship standings.
Only seven of the 22 cars that started finished the race.
Kiwi Scott Dixon, who had run in the top three most the race, was taken out by Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato with half a dozen laps remaining when he looked like he was a 50-50 chance of winning the race.
