Herta is pretty frustrating. He has days where he is the fastest guy on the track, but he makes too many mistakes. I can think of at least two times in the last 2-3 years where he was the fastest guy that day, but crashed out with unforced errors: Nashville and Long Beach (that time when he crashed at the end of the back straight on a pit-in lap). Herta bumping Newgarden was a mistake that Dixon would never do. I don't know why Michael Andretti is so intent on getting him to F1. I think the pressure will eat him alive


He still has time to grow. He's only 24. After all, Newgarden didn't win his first IndyCar title until his sixth full-time season.

Wow....Indy stripped Newgarden of win in St. Petersburg...what the hell...

LINK

INDYCAR has announced penalties for Team Penske, including disqualifications for the No. 2 (driver Josef Newgarden) and No. 3 (Scott McLaughlin) and a 10-point penalty for No. 12 (Will Power) from the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding on Sunday, March 10 on the Streets of St. Petersburg.

Team Penske was in violation of the following “Push to Pass” parameters:

Rule 14.19.15. An indicator to enable Push to Pass will be sent via CAN communication from the timing and scoring beacon on board the Car to the team data logger. This signal must be passed on to the ECU unmodified and uninterrupted during all Road and Street Course Events.
Rule 14.19.16. Race Starts and any Race Restart that occurs before the lap prior to the white flag or prior to three minutes remaining in a timed Race Event will have the Push to Pass system disabled and will be enabled for a given Car once that Car reaches the alternate Start/Finish line.

That race was AWESOME! Herta fought back and finished 8 after a poor qualifying and getting run off early.

Good for Linus too. What an awesome race to have 3 strategies going on at the same time!

We went to qualifying. What an excellent event! Very kid friendly.

Hell yeah doodz!
