Indy 500 could be better than 2012's epic race

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — They raced 1-2-3 in line, trading the lead a whopping 15 times over the final, frantic 75 laps. All three drivers had a last-lap plan in mind when they zipped past the white flag, and it was Takuma Sato who acted first with a bold move for the win.

Sato pulled out of line, dipped inside of Dario Franchitti and tried to pounce as they headed into the first turn. Scott Dixon watched and waited from third, figuring he was now in position to slingshot past both for the victory.

Hamilton worried that he still lacks race pace

MONACO (AP) — Lewis Hamilton says the Monaco Grand Prix has been "the toughest" of the season despite qualifying in second place for Sunday's race.

The 2008 F1 champion has 21 GP wins to his name — compared to just one for his new teammate Nico Rosberg — but the Briton has been beaten by the German in qualifying for three consecutive races.
