Will the duel between the Penske and Ganassi teams continue in recent seasons? Will Roger Penske's organization, which has signed a contract with Chevrolet, have an advantage in fielding three cars for Will Power, Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe, against two to his competitor, who continues to trust his Honda engine manufacturer?

The Australian driver, first winner of the F3 Euro Series in 2003, is convinced of this, even if Andretti Autosport will field four. “ This will be the first time that we will have an advantage of having three cars within the team, confided Briscoe. The more time we have on track, the more we can learn. The more we progress in testing, the faster our development will advance. We have already defined the different aerodynamic configurations and set-ups that we will have to use. The car is so different from last year. There is still a lot to do. This week we are back at Sebring and we are going to work hard on the car. » The three teammates will in fact be hard at work today and tomorrow to continue their winter tests. Session in which Rubens Barrichello, within KV Racing Technology, will also participate.
