Default Here's a Headline You Won't See in Formula 1

News reports today indicate that the pole sitter for the Indy 500, Scott Dixon, and former winner of the 500, Dario Franchitti, were robbed at gunpoint at a Taco Belle drive thru after Dixon won the pole position on Sunday. Wonder if they had coupons or something?

I'm sure Mercedes celebrates pole position with double cheese Chalupas for all.

La Belle Taco in Monaco only has 3 Michelin stars ... and no 'drive-thru'... so no-one in F1 eats there.

Franchitti is Scottish. Maybe it was his turn to buy dinner. Can't imagine why Dixon was there, Taco Belle doesn't sell beer.

No cup holders in F1 cars so drive through not an option. Never realised Indy cars were so sophisticated.

Upon hearing the story, Ryan Lochte was quoted as saying, "Lucky b******s!"

They should be glad this happen now versus about 15 years ago or so. They would have gotten needled by half a million fans on raceday sporting cap guns or something.

When Bobby Rahal first brought Honda to Indy, he couldn't qualify. Every street corner in Indianapolis had one of his life size cut outs from his Miller Beer sponsorship with a "Will Work For Food" sign hanging on it.

If you like good food, just paying for a meal at Taco Belle is getting robbed.
