Alex Tagliani (BHA) had achieved a promising sixth place but the Canadian will have to move back ten places on the grid for an illegal engine change, just like James Hinchcliffe (Andretti Autosport) and Simona de Silvestro (HVM Racing) ninth and 21st respectively. . simon pagenaud (Schmidt Motorsports) took advantage of these penalties to gain two positions and move up to eighth place. Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) had the potential to fight at the front but the Japanese saw his two best times deleted after blocking Will Power during the session.
