Newgarden's crocodile tears at that press conference were... something.
Yeah very strange; how the hell do two cars in a 3 car team think a rule has changed but 1 (Power) doesnt? Even he seemed to sound fairly skeptical when interviewed yesterday; basically saying that if he had noticed the push to pass working he would have "radioed the team to ask"

That's the part that didn't wash for me. If they were genuinely surprised at having access to it, surely they would have queried it either over radio or during the debrief?
Yeah - all seems a bit "sus" to me

I think it was only Newgarden that mentioned the rule change thing. McLaughlin said he wasn't aware of any conversations within the team about a rule change.
Smells a bit fishy to me.

The Penske push to pass thing is still rumbling on - a number of Penske employees, including the President, Tim Cindric have been suspended by the team - https://www.the-race.com/indycar/pe...ef-newgarden-engineer-suspended-for-indy-500/
Does anyone else listen to The-Race.com Indycar podcast? I really didn't buy what J. R. Hildebrand was saying during his 15 minute diatribe on the Penske cheating allegations.

Indy Grand Prix this weekend; qualifying on Sky Sports F1 just now; race is tomorrow night

I got excited but then realised it's the normal GP track. Just 2 weeks to go

Indy 500 quali on at the moment for the big race next Sunday.
Ericsson just scraped in in 32nd, Katherine Legge made her 4th 500 in 31st

Been an interesting event anyway - although 2 days for qualifying feels like too much!

Never really understand why it’s a week ahead of the race either but I guess tradition is tradition!
Fair play to Kyle Larson sticking it in the top 5 in his first go at Indy! Having at go at doing the double next weekend, Indy and the NASCAR Coca Cola 600 on the same day!

Scotty on pole? Nice
I will say though; as much as I've enjoyed watching it, if I hear "Biggest Spectacle in Motorsport" from a commentator again it'll be too soon
