Indy GP – Rossi fastest in free practice, Grosjean struggling

Announced at Arrow McLaren SP in IndyCar in 2023, the American Alexander Red (Andretti) set the best time in the only free practice session for the second Indianapolis Grand Prix contested in 2022 this Friday, July 29.

The winner of the 500 Indianapolis 2016 beat Josef Newgarden (Team Penske). The two-time IndyCar champion has largely reassured himself, less than a week after losing consciousness in the paddock at the Iowa oval and injuring his head.

With the French, simon pagenaud (Meyer Shank Racing), which aims to score another podium after the first Indy GP in early May, achieved the 16th best time. His compatriot Romain Grosjean (Andretti, 21st) was handicapped by handling problems. “I have no grip on the rear axle. Did I brake too late? Too strong ? What is going on ? » His engineer told him that they were going to change a brake caliper.

Qualifying is scheduled for 19 p.m. French time this Friday, July 29.
