Pato O'Ward, Colton Herta, and Alex Palou know how good they are.
Pato O’Ward and Colton Herta are stars locked in intersecting orbits. O’Ward, a 23-year-old Mexican IndyCar star with an oh-so-Irish name, is on pace for his third top-five finish in the series points in his three seasons of competition. Herta, the 22-year-old Californian son of IndyCar veteran Bryan Herta, has already accomplished that twice. The pair have been teammates three times, tested the same Formula 1 car, and finished one-two in seven separate races of the 2018 Indy Lights season.
“If he starts really far in the back, he tries to overtake five in a corner. And normally, he makes it work.”Icon Sportswire / Getty Images In the right conditions, Herta seems the fastest man alive. He has nine poles in three and a half seasons, but that only hints at how much faster he can be on the right weekends. In races like the last two at Laguna Seca, he has been untouchable. Herta describes the style that leads to this speed as a willingness to overstep what the car can do.“I feel like I’m one of those guys who has to go over the limit to find it,” he says.
“I think it’s quite easy for a racing driver, especially in IndyCar, to be as fast as somebody else,” Palou lays out. “I think Dixon is just better everywhere—consistency, fuel mileage, tire degradation, recovery, setups. Maybe it’s experience, maybe I’ll get there some day, but that’s a goal. Dixon is not a supercrazy, aggressive guy who either finishes first or doesn’t finish. I’m probably more like that style, but I’m not near to the level he’s at.
