Siegel not last in practice 2, only complete novice Luca Ghiotto is behind him now (who was ahead of him in P1). Arrow McLaren must be so pleased with their decision.
Didn’t see the Laguna Seca race, but just saw the results and looks like Seigel finished 12th - in his debut race, which would seem pretty respectable?Koln-RS said:

Either he's tremendously expensive and McLaren are looking to cut costs, or this is a decision he's made himself. Wonder where he'll end up? You'd have to consider CGR, Andretti or Penske as he's a quality driver on both ovals and road/street courses.https://www.autosport.com/indycar/news/lundgaard-t...
Now that I think about it I've seen some saying Arrow are considering withdrawing their title sponsorship so could be a little bit of belt tightening at McLaren too.

Think that is the first time I've watched an indycar race without a full course yellow.
Apparently this may become slightly more commonplace with the new hybrid engines enabling the cars to either stall less, or easier to restart if the engine does cut out. One of the main reasons for FCY was the car had infact stalled when it went off and no in built start mechanism for them so needed mechanical intervention.Edited by poosemon on Monday 8th July 12:35

Has any other major series ever had a change of engine regulations mid season?
I can’t recall it happening before, and bar Dixon parade lap failure you wouldn’t have known anything had changed
It seemed very odd - Does anyone know WHY they made the change mid-season? Was it supposed to come in earlier in the season, but was delayed or was it a conscious decision to introduce it post the Indy month? I can’t recall it happening before, and bar Dixon parade lap failure you wouldn’t have known anything had changed
Either way, it seems totally bizarre and disruptive.
