Alexander Rossi takes new pole at Long Beach
A year after his double pole position – victory in the streets of Long Beach, Alexander Red seems to have the same winning formula on the streets of South Los Angeles.
The pilot Andretti Autosport – Honda, best time in EL3 in the afternoon, took pole in qualifying, after beating reigning champion Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing – Honda).
Author of a final reference in 1'06″481, Rossi is ahead of Dixon by 0″266, for a first 100% Honda, as was the case last week in Alabama, with the domination of the Team RLL single-seaters.
Behind the Rossi – Dixon duo, Team Penske was at ease in qualifying at Long Beach by placing its three cars powered by the Chevrolet unit from 3rd to 5th place with Will Power, Josef Newgarden and simon pagenaud. Graham Rahal (Team RLL) completes the top 6.
Ryan Hunter-Reay (Andretti Autosport), Takuma Sato (Team RLL), Patricio O'Ward (Carlin – Chevrolet) and Colton Herta (Harding Steinbrenne Racing – Honda) enter the top 10. Sébastien Bourdais (Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan – Honda) only ranks 14th.
The session was marked by incidents involving Tony Kanaan (AJ Foyt Enterprises – Chevrolet), who made a mistake at turn 6 in the first qualifying group, then Felix Rosenqvist (Chip Ganassi Racing), who finished in the wall of tires at turn 9.
That'll leave a mark. Here's that impact during Qualifying from @FRosenqvist's point of view #INDYCAR // #AGPLB pic.twitter.com/njmCeKng6T
