Indianapolis 500: Still under caution, and everyone pits for the final time except for Munoz and Wilson. Power wins the race off pit road ahead of Montoya and Dixon.
Indianapolis 500: That bit of debris came from the car of Takuma Sato, who was clipped as he was exiting Turn 2.
Yellow flag
Indianapolis 500: Debris - it looks like an endplate or something lying in the middle of the track. The top four had just broken away from the trailing pack led by Andretti.
We've received an update about the DCR crew member: he has been treated for a cut foot, and released. Very good news indeed - that looked nasty.

Indianapolis 500: And with 35 laps to go, Montoya moves past Dixon and into the lead. A little further back, Andretti is doing his best to keep Honda in contention and has just passed Kimball for P5.
Indianapolis 500: Now Kimball is falling backwards: Dixon and Montoya have relegated him to third, where he's being sized up by Power.
Indianapolis 500: Pagenaud has lost two places to Dixon and Montoya over the last lap.
Green flag
Indianapolis 500: Restart with 42 laps to go.
Indianapolis 500: Kanaan has been checked by medical personnel and given the all-clear.
Indianapolis 500: Tagliani leads under caution, although he's off-sequence. The order behind him is Kimball, Pagenaud, Montoya, Dixon and Power.
As we write that, Tagliani finally stops, and Kimball cycles into the lead.

Indianapolis 500: Kanaan's car just wiggled mid-corner and snapped up into the wall - it looked a lot like Castroneves' practice crash, although this time the car did not take off. The team made a downforce change during that last stop, and it looks like it caught the 2013 Indy winner off guard.
Crash
Indianapolis 500: And we lose one of our frontrunners: Kanaan is in the wall. He climbs out of the car, shakes his head and waves to the crowd.
Indianapolis 500: No quarter given between the Penskes on the pit exit: Power and Montoya nearly hit each other
Indianapolis 500: Kanaan pits with 50 laps to go; Pagenaud, Montoya and Power follow suit on the next lap
Indianapolis 500: We're not even going to try to stay on top of all the position changes among the top five right now. Just imagine a lot of drafting and passing between Pagenaud, Dixon, Montoya, Kanaan and Power.
Indianapolis 500: Restart. Pagenaud and Power changed places a couple of times, and then Dixon comes from nowehere to go past the both of them.
Meanwhile, Servia and Carpenter have both been checked by medical staff and given the all-clear.

Quote
Indianapolis 500: Davison: "I got sent out there at the same time that Pippa was coming, and we made contact. It ended up taking both Tristan and I out. It's really unfortunate. I'm really hoping [the crew member] is OK."
Indianapolis 500: The injured crew member has been loaded into an ambulance. Mann has returned to the track, but Davison and Vautier's cars are still in the pits.
Indianapolis 500: Out at the front, Pagenaud leads from Power, Dixon, Montoya, Castroneves and Kanaan.
Indianapolis 500: Everyone veers into pit road as soon as the pits open.
There has been another accident on pit road involving all three of the Coyne cars: Davison was released into the path of Mann, and the impact sent his car into the box ahead, where Vautier was receiving service. One of Vautier's crew members was hit, and is still on the ground receiving treatment.

Yellow flag
Indianapolis 500: It should go without saying that we're under caution, but we'll say it anyway. Pagenaud still leads from Kanaan and Montoya.
Crash
Indianapolis 500: Ed Carpenter and Oriol Servia are in the wall. Carpenter has radioed to his team that he's fine and is already climbing out of his car ... and now we're seeing Servia walking around as well.
That was almost a replay of the Carpenter/Hinch crash from last year: Carpenter tried to go inside Servia at Turn 1, went too low, spun, and tipped the Spaniard into the wall as well.

Indianapolis 500: The rest of the lead pack pits with the exception of Castroneves, who inherits the lead for one lap. He makes his own stop next time around.
Those stops have shaken the top order up a bit: Pagenaud now leads from Kanaan, Montoya, Power, Dixon, Kimball and Castroneves. Andretti has passed Rahal for eighth.

Indianapolis 500: And now Hunter-Reay is pitting again - he's struggling for fuel economy.
Indianapolis 500: And when we told you earlier that Hunter-Reay and Wilson suffered as a result of that last caution, we didn't tell you the full extent: RHR is stuck in 23rd, and Wilson is all the way down in 28th. Remember, the Brit was running in fourth at the end of the first lap.
Indianapolis 500: It sounds like Gabby Chaves clipped his inside front wheel guy during his last stop. The BHA crew member has been taken to the infield medical centre and given the all-clear.
Indianapolis 500: Power slingshots past Dixon to move into third. We're on lap 85 and it's all Ganassi and Penske at the moment: the current order is Kanaan, Pagenaud, Power, Dixon, Kimball, Castroneves and Montoya. The first driver from another team - and the highest-placed Honda - is eighth-placed Graham Rahal.
Indianapolis 500: OK, the internet is slow here at IMS and it seems to be hit-and-miss with regard to comments actually appearing on Race Centre Live.
So here's what we've tried to tell you about over the past few laps:
* Hunter-Reay and Wilson were the big losers when that caution came out - they'd made their stops under green just one lap earlier
* Coletti is facing a post-race investigation for a pit safety violation
* Dixon passed Pagenaud on the restart; Kanaan then passed both of them; Dixon is now back in the lead. Power has passed Pagenaud for third.

Indianapolis 500: Bryan Clauson is in the wall. He just got too high, lost grip, and slid into the barrier. The resultant caution will close up what was rapidly becoming a very stretched-out field.
Clauson is climbing out of the car and appears to be fine.

Indianapolis 500: Lap 51, and the leaders are dealing with lapped traffic for the first time. Pagenaud is clamped right onto Dixon's rear.
Indianapolis 500: Montoya enters the pits, and overshoots his marks. That's not going to do him much good.
Up at the front, Dixon leads from Pagenaud and Kanaan, while Castroneves has found a way past Power.

Indianapolis 500: And the new leader is ... Juan Pablo Montoya, who went off-strategy after that early contact.
Indianapolis 500: Now it's Pagenaud's turn. Neither of the lead Ganassis wanted any changes to their cars, but the Frenchman has asked for a minor wing adjustment to try to dial out some understeer. That moved Power into the lead, although he makes his own stop on the next lap.
Indianapolis 500: Dixon pits from the lead; Kanaan pits next time around.
Indianapolis 500: Dixon's back in the lead. Further back, Montoya is working his way back through the field and is up to 21st.
Indianapolis 500: The lead four of Kanaan, Dixon, Pagenaud and Power have broken away from the pack, and behind them, Wilson and Castroneves are having their own private scrap for fifth. Sixth-placed Marco Andretti is another couple of seconds down the road.
Indianapolis 500: And Kanaan has passed Dixon for the lead. Dixon is immediately under threat from Pagenaud.
Indianapolis 500: Kanaan is on the move: he has picked off both Power and Pagenaud, and is now hunting down team-mate Dixon for the lead.
Indianapolis 500: Pagenaud on Power again, and this time, he makes it stick. To be fair, Power didn't put up much resistance.
Further back, Jack Hawksworth pulled a nice move on Tristan Vautier.

BES - Silverstone: Estre takes the flag 23s ahead of Vanthoor in the Audi to claim a first big win for the McLaren 650S (it has already triumphed in the Pirelli World Challenge, of course).
Bonanomi just hangs onto third for ISR from Ortelli, while the MRS Nissan squad takes fifth and Bentley sixth after Soucek passes Zaugg's Lambo in the closing stages.

Indianapolis 500: Restart. Pagenaud has a look at Power for second, but can't find a way past.
