immediately went out on used alternates, but while they gently warmed up the fast but fragile compound, Rossi, Malukas and Pagenaud hit the top on primaries.
Then Ilott went fastest ahead of Ericsson, Castroneves until McLaughlin on primaries bounded up to the top with a 72.4807. Ericsson on fresh reds then had a spin exiting the first part of the Corkscrew but kept his car running but he would lose one good lap as it meant the yellow flew for two cars coming through.
Rossi delivered the top time with a 71.4238sec, a mere 0.0555sec ahead of Grosjean, while Power was third, a further 0.0078sec adrift. Also progressing were Pato O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet and the remarkable Callum Ilott who made the Firestone Fast Six for the first time in his IndyCar career.
Malukas missed out by 0.008sec, having been one of the drivers hindered by Ericsson’s spin. McLaughlin drifted wide at Turn 4 on his fastest lap, admitting that he’d been struggling for balance in practice. He will start eighth, ahead of the two Swedes and the two Meyer Shank Racing-Hondas.
