Pagenaud leads 1-2-3 Honda assault on 3rd Indy practice
Simon Pagenaud turned the fastest lap on a wet Indy road course track on Friday morning as practice continued for tomorrow's Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
The times are so close in IndyCar compared to F1, even on a wet track the IndyCar series is so much more competitive vs. the snore fest in F1 this year. Just 0.8 seconds covered the top 16 cars. In F1 only the top two Mercedes are within 0.8 seconds. All the rest are out to lunch.
