This week Mark Blondell on how to win in America, why Williams was so good in their

heyday and which driver reminds him of Aetten's center?

And now, from kitchen tables around the world,

this is F1 Nation. We didn't have a Grand Prix at the weekend, but it's still been a busy week in and around the world of Formula One.

So let's talk about it on the nation with me

Tom Clarkson and with me Alex Jakes. Now first up former Formula One star

Takuma Sato won the Indy 500 on Sunday and AJ.

You were calling that race for the first time.

How was it, mate?

It was a dream come true, to be honest.

It has always been an incredible occasion. It's a

race that I've loved since I was very very young and the efforts of Dan

Weldon, the late Dan Weldon got me into it and the pomp, the ceremony, all the traditions,

the fact that it's existed for such a long time, part of the Triple Crown, and it has so many F1 connections as well.

So as you mentioned, Takumasato taking his second victory there.

It takes a long time for that race to progress.

At one point it looked like it was going to be another

driver Scott Dixon but Tecumasato you might be thinking how is Tecumasato still driving well

experience it counts for a lot over there Tom it It was a wonderful race to be just a small part of and congratulations to Takuma because that was a that was a very knowledgeable drive that he put in and in the end he was a deserving winner.

Now a Grand Prix is what is it it's maximum two hours right?

Yeah. How long were you on air for a 500 mile race on Sunday?

I can't, I mean I can tell you how long it felt.
