Indy 500 scandal: O'Ward demands a tough punishment for Penske's rule injury

Penske Racing compared to controversy at Indianapolis 500 Qualifying

In a shocking turn of events at the Indianapolis 500 Qualifying, Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward spared his thoughts about the technical violation in which team Penske's cars were involved. The controversy occurred when indycar officers discovered problems with the rear damper on both Josef Newgarden's No. 2 Chevrolet and Chevrolet No. 12 by Will Power during the fast 12 qualification round.

Penske Racing made a questionable decision to work on the cars in the pit lane in the hope of fixing the problem and continuing with qualifying. However, their hopes were overthrown because both cars were ultimately pulled out of the line -up, which led to a disappointing 10th to 12th position on the net next to Scott McLaughlin.

O'Ward did not collapse when he said: “You didn't accidentally do it [Jacob] Abel and for everyone who qualifies the disqualifications or the last chance. These (Penske) cars were not in the regulations. “

The young driver expressed his conviction that the Penske cars must have more serious consequences, which indicates that they should be sent to the last chance immediately. O'Ward called out the team's actions and emphasized that such behavior was unnecessary by a Powerhouse team like Penke Racing.

The situation took a dramatic turn when Rookie Jacob Abel had not qualified for the prestigious race, while the Penske cars initially secured places in the fast 12 despite their violation.

When the Indianapolis 500 approaches, the controversy around Penske Racing gives an unexpected intrigue to an already intensive and high operational event. Fans and experts will speculate about the effects of this incident on the reputation and performance of the team.
