Fernando Alonso's charge for victory at the Indianapolis 500 mile race was halted by a Honda engine failure on lap 180 or 200. The Spaniard impressed with solid driving, and remained in the hunt throughout the entire race, but just like in F1, an engine failure prevented him to finish. 20 laps later, former F1 driver Takuma Sato won the 101st running on the Indy500.

Heartbreaking! Just as he was starting to make his push. He can hold his head very highly indeed, he's been so impressive. Fastest average lap of everyone up until then, says it all.
What a joke... Honda has too many projects it's time to concentrate on what takes priority they obviously cant cope at the minute. I can see Alonso walking and I wouldn't blame him.
