🗣 'At the end of the day, they’re risking their lives if something happens and they hit it, so that’s on them' 😬 Drivers are divided on whether the 'dragon weave' and using the pitlane entry as the racetrack should be allowed in future Indy500 👇
The cars then swerve to rejoin the racetrack just ahead of the pitwall attenuator, which is viewed as one of the most dangerous areas on the legendary 2.5-mile oval.

Sunday’s race winner Newgarden admitted after the race that he doesn’t “love” doing the move but was adamant that it is a legal and necessary move under the current rules.
“They were very clear that they are not enforcing that [dotted pit entry] line, and they didn't enforce it last year. They said they're not enforcing it again, and I'm coming to the checkered flag and I'm going to do everything I can to win this race, and I had to be as aggressive as possible, because the tow effect to just the first car was even more difficult than last year.
