Ericsson's head shot in the timing tower is downright demonic.

It's practice but a rare mistake from Scott Dixon

Looks like Scott pushing the limits and found it places it can never go

Thought that was Dixon heading for the wall again when it hopped over a bump there

Yeah. They said on IndyCar Radio the track surface is worse than expected. Lots of teams are being caught by surprise.

May weather came early. This overcast is common in So Cal in May and June: "May Gray" and "June Gloom"

Ahhh forgot to check if it was on another channel, just saw it wasn't on Sky F1 yet.

I'm not sure why Sky need to show a re-run of the qualifying session that literally finished an hour before 

 

Anyway, IndyCar we go

And (still) the only one of them who has his likeness on the Borg-Warner.

So weird that they still have not managed to get some meaningful timing info on the screen during qualifying.

I was thinking the same--got to think at this point it is just not a priority.

It should be. A ticking clock is what qualifying is all about.

We’ll see how May goes, but I’m starting to get the feeling that a change of scenery would be useful for Newgarden. Maybe to the 9 if it coincides with Dixon calling it a day? Or would he be a better fit at McLaren?

I feel confirmed in my belief that it is a production decision, that they feel it adds "more drama."

 

And, no, I do not agree.
