Racing royals
Marco Andretti is apparently preparing for the start of the Verizon IndyCar Series season with Andretti Autosport by getting a few tips from three-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton has shown up in Andretti’s social media feeds before and, a few days ago, they were hanging out in Miami. They are both bulldog dads, so maybe they’re bonding over that, too.

Separated at birth
Speaking of looks, the Indianapolis Colts have a new general manager, Chris Ballard, and some think he looks a lot like AJ Foyt Racing driver Conor Daly in a suit.
Guys can I confirm that I in fact am not the new @Colts #GM okay? Lol #fortheshoe https://t.co/1Tz1Kfzy2c

Hinchtown’s Florida 48
After the Rolex 24 At Daytona last weekend, an exhausted James Hinchcliffe of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports was stuck in Orlando waiting for a delayed flight to take him home. Nevertheless, the “Mayor of Hinchtown” entertained us with tweets while he entertained himself.
Alright, let's take bets. Who thinks we make it out of here tonight?!
