🗣️'He just wanted to save fuel on Carb Day and I didn't really understand what he was doing on the track.' Was rinusveekay preparing for a day of fuel saving at the Indy500?
Indianapolis 500 pole-winner Alex Palou says he doesn’t understand why fellow front-row starter Rinus VeeKey was obsessed with fuel saving in final practice on Carb Day.Palou beat VeeKay to pole by the second-closest margin in Indy 500 qualifying history, at 0.004s and 0.006mph last Sunday.
“But if he drives normal, yeah, we're going to be exchanging [the lead on Sunday] a lot. I don't know if it's going to be me or somebody else, but yeah, I think when you are second, it's easy to pass, and when you are first, you cannot really do much. “I can go straight into fuel save mode, sitting behind Alex, I’ll slot behind him and make sure we stay in the race until the end and battle him whenever the fuel save goes out the window.”
