To find out, Safe-Is-Fast assembled an all star panel including: Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing chiefs Tim Cindric and Mike Hull. Plus top IndyCar drivers Helio Castroneves, Josef Newgarden and James Hinchcliffe, ex-F1 driver Rubens Barrichello – along with newly-crowned FIA F3 Champion Lance Stroll.
