Alex Palou’s Indy road course win, a host of expletive-filled spats and a look at the Indy 500 starting this week make up this episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast.
Hosting duo JR Hildebrand and Jack Benyon look at Alex Palou starting May in the same way as last year, with a pole and a win on the Indy road course, what that means for his title rivals and how Christian Lundgaard was hard done by.
And of course Colton Herta calling his team-mate Marcus Ericsson an “ass” and Romain Grosjean and Santino Ferrucci’s unusual wheel-banging feud is analysed.
Hildebrand explains some intricacies of how Indy 500 qualifying works as that starts later this week, and gives his thoughts on how badly impacted reigning winner Josef Newgarden will be after some of his crew have been suspended ahead of the event.
There’s also a run through the schedule this week and some things to look for as Indy 500 practice unfolds.
