Accidents, rain, injuries and drama. The legendary race of Indianapolis 500 took place

Spaniard Alex Pale from the Chip Ganassi Racing team won one of the most important victories in his career, winning the legendary Indianapolis 500 race. Spaniard, a three -time Indicarian champion, had 15 victories in his asset, but has not yet won the main race of the American vehicle. This time everything happened perfectly.

At the final circles of the deale, Marcus Erickson, the winner of Indie 500 2022, was overcome, and held leadership despite the pressure of Swed. It was his fifth victory in the season and the sixth consecutive finish in the top 2-the deale is confident in the overall standings.

Marcus Erixsson finished second, losing less than a second. The third was David Malucas – a great result for AJ Foyt Racing. The top 5 also includes Patient (McLaren) and Felix Rosenkvist. The following were Kirkwood (AJ Foyt Enterprises).

The race in Indianapolis was rich in incidents. Due to the rain, the start was detained, and even before the first full circle there were two accidents. Scott Maclaflin did not hold the car during the heating of the tire, and Marco Andretti dropped through a collision with Jack Harvey at the first turns.

The problems have been pursued by many leaders. Alexander Rossi came down due to a heating during Peat Strope, Rinus of Victions crashed into the Peit Line wall, and Russian Robert Schwartzman came down from the distance after an error at the entrance to the boxing-he did not slow down on time, knocked down several mechanics of his team, and several of them.

Kyle Larson, who tried to drive two races a day, got into a mass accident, and Joseph Newgarda dropped due to a malfunction of the fuel pump. Scott Dixon lost several circles after technical problems with brakes.

The finish line was dramatic: only 23 out of 33 cars reached the last circle.

After the busy May, Indicar goes to Detroit – on June 1, the championship will continue the street race in the north of the United States.

Recall that the Indianapolis 500 is part of the so-called “triple crown” of the vehicle-the three most prestigious races, the victory in which is the dream of each pilot: Monaco Grand Prix Formula-1, Indianapolis 500 in Indicar and 24 hours Le-Man in WEC. On the eve of Indie 500, a race was held in Monaco, where the pilot Mclarene Lando Norris won. The last of the three-24 hours of Le-Man-will be held on June 11-14 in France.
