. PatricioOWard has always been strong at Sebring, and today he led an ArrowMcLaren 1-2-3 in the final preseason IndyCar test
O’Ward lapped the 1.7-mile Sebring short course in 51.882sec, around a quarter second faster than his new teammate Alexander Rossi and his longer-standing teammate Felix Rosenqvist who was a tenth further back.
All three were able to outpace Felipe Nasr, Porsche Penske Motorsport’s sportscar ace, who nonetheless did a fine job in the #2 Team Penske-Chevrolet normally driven by Josef Newgarden. Former Formula 1 driver Nasr, the 2018 and ’21 IMSA Prototype champion, last raced an open-wheel car in Formula E in the 2018-’19 season, and last drove one in the February 2020 IndyCar Spring Training at Circuit of The Americas. He was particularly impressive in the wet on that occasion, driving a Carlin-Chevy.
Santino Ferrucci was fifth fastest today for AJ Foyt Racing-Chevy, ahead of his first full season in IndyCar since 2019. He was just ahead of 28-year-old New Zealander Nick Cassidy, the 2019 Super Formula champion, who was trying out an IndyCar for the first time at the wheel of 2021 champion Alex Palou’s Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda.
related to the hybrid device rather than trying to set hot laps, the pace could be seen as encouraging.
