Congrats to Ro Gro on his second Pole.

Qualifying Result
Andretti, Ganasi and Penske all have cars/drivers in the Fast 6 but the biggest turn around since the last season is Andretti, with all three Andretti Autosport cars/drivers in the Fast 6 and Grosjean taking Pole. |

Great stuff!
Pato well up too? Quite a few guys likely out of position and will be on the charge like Dixon, Power Rossi Josef. |

Watched a little of the warmup this morning. I really like this circuit, especially for the opener.
We need Sting Ray to pick it up. Not the slowest rookie, but def not the quickest. |

Initially a clean start and then it all went wrong at Turn 3.
Red flag. |

Whelp, of course it had to be one of the Swedes that got the Dixon broadside. Not intentional of course, but a bummer either way.

I wish they would show the replay from the air in slow motion. A car gets turned but I can't make out which one it was.

Quite impressive to launch the car like that.
But the main story. Sting Ray got caught up in it. ruining this future stars first race. |

He’s still in the race. A lap down, but it will be valuable learning experience.
Of lesser import Grosjean is being hounded by Herta. Or maybe they are just both taking it easy on the tires. |

O’Ward a bit squirrelly chasing Ro Gro despite having warmer tires.

Have they shown a replay of the McLaughlin and Grosjean battle? I’d like to see that again.

Another FCY as Herta over cooks it and goes into the tyre barrier, battling with Will Power.

Power got sent to the back of the field for Herta's excursion into the tyre wall.

5th FCY as McLaughlin and Ro Gro make contact. I thought that was on McLaughlin but looking at it again, I think it's 50/50.
