Interesting that so many of the top 10 were with Honda power yet still others like Alonso had failures again. Not sure if they are supplied ready to go from Honda or an outside engine builder. I know the Chevy's are worked over by Ilmore Racing. These Indy cars operate at a lower RPM (compared to F1 anyway) Unanswered question is still is it a design issue or build quality (or both)?

Interesting discussion from Hamilton and Kanaan. 
Tony Kanaan fires back at Lewis Hamilton IndyCar cheap shot
KANAAN POKED FUN AT HAMILTON'S CHAMPIONSHIP DEFEAT TO NICO ROSBERG
JUNE 1, 2017
Tony Kanaan has fired back at Lewis Hamilton over his recent comments about the competition level in the Verizon IndyCar Series.
As Fernando Alonso was tackling the Indianapolis 500, Hamilton scoffed at how the Spaniard was able to be so competitive straight out of the box in qualifying.
"To see him fifth against drivers who are there all year is ... interesting," the triple world champion said.
Tony Kanaan, an IndyCar champion and 2013 Indy 500 winner, hit back.
"What can I say," Kanaan told GLOBO. "The guy (Hamilton) competed in a two-car world championship last year and was second, so I don't think he can say much. It was a pleasure to have Fernando here. He is humble, not like some of his colleagues who were making comments this month."
For his part, Alonso acknowledged that F1 has its competitiveness problems.
"I think F1 is very healthy right now," he told EFE news agency, "but there is still a lot of difference between teams and little room for improvisation and surprises. More or less, you know who will win the races."

Have to admit I think Jones should have gotten Rookie money and not Alonso --- he finished 3rd ( trophy position) and gets zip. Really liked Alonzo being in the 500, but the politics of him getting Rookie stink in my estimation. Engine issues or not , he did not finish and the top Rookie landed with a Bronze medal and is ignored --wow!!
While Jones didn't get ROY money, he did pocket $535,629.00. Not too shabby and almost double what Alonzo got. If one considers the media attention alone, Alonzo was worth his weight in gold.
Well, he only gets a percentage of that.

No argument at all that Alonzo was worth his weight in gold, but will side with critics who seriously questioned a Rookie getting into a trophy position against a non finisher , and not getting the accolades.
