Indycar’s star, Pato O’ward, played on the Indianapolis 500 after Alex Palou passed Marcus Ericsson with 14 laps to win the race for the first time in his career.
Arrow’s McLaren driver agreed with Ericsson’s lack of fighting when Palou passed it through leadership at the end of the race, as well as how some of the reset took place.

“I would say that a good garbage career. It only stinks to the one that was reduced: the switcheroo went to the last position of the race and Ericsson actually drowned there and left Palou and only … he only had to pedal it there,” he told Fox Sports. “I don’t think it’s an ending that someone here would like to see.
“I feel that there were a lot of no experience in the front of the reset and some of those rebootes were pathetic. Those were not the level we should see in Indy 500. We simply feel that we were playing a roulette in a casino and collecting outside or inside and only depending on what everyone was choosing that they were screwed or that we were like 10 positions.”

O’ward ended in fourth place after starting the race in third place.
“We handle ourselves there a couple of times, but we climbed a little more after being a little more in the middle,” he said. “I fought my way as hard as I could.”
There were 44 turns running under caution, starting from the beginning while the rain plagued part of the race and then began with an accident of Scott McLaughlin before the waves of the green flag.

However, the race had 22 leadership changes among 14 pilots. It was Palou who ended in the winner’s circle when he finished the race.
