00:20Indy 500 banking couldn't David Coulthard but we're just going to have to see how this race
00:27is resolved plenty of laps to go 34 laps remain out of 73 and that Mercedes power plant in the back
00:34of the McLaren here working hard remember last year it was his teammate then Micah Hakkinen who took
00:40victory beating Michael Schumacher in a straight fight McLaren and Mercedes do have a great race
00:45setup but can they sustain this pace well it looks to me like David Coulthard able to match the Ferraris
00:51in the part of the racetrack which has traditionally been the strength of Ferraris they're not necessarily
00:56the quickest cars down the straight away here because they've set their car up to be fast in
01:00the lap they used their advantage of pole position to do so but now David Coulthard onto the straight the gap
01:07remains pretty constant in fact it's gone up to a second he's lost a tenth of a second on that lap
01:18traction control cuts in we're riding back with David Coulthard in third place yeah Raikkonen is running
01:23about eight tenths of a second a lap slower than Coulthard and the the two race leaders but still
01:29holding his own he's got one Pablo Montoya fifth place behind him some 13.7 seconds Alex Young has
