Practice 1 times:
Penske flexing a bit today. All four in the top 8. Grosjean and Palou a bit slow - but top 20 covered by a second is pretty good.
Kellett and Johnson well off the pace. Definitely expect Johnson to be ahead of Kellett by the end of the season, and challenging Chilton. I imagine JJ's first time at a track like St Pete in an Indycar would be an eyeopener though. While I envy him, I also don't!

It's so cool to see McLaughlin adjusting to IndyCar so fast.
JJ's sole mission this weekend is keeping it out of the walls.

Bugger about Power. But between him and the Swedes, that should help to make the race a bit spicier.

Meanwhile, Harvey impresses again. Fingers crossed for him tomorrow!

Imagine being Kellett now, getting beat by a guy who has driven open wheelers 10 times his entire life.
Or did he get a penalty due to being a moving chicane?
