Arrow McLaren ace Pato O’Ward🐎 has hit out at Team Penske after the latter skipped the Fast 12 for the Indianapolis 500 after technical drama.

Penske’s IndyCar squad was 🍌engulfed in a major controversy on Sunday when Josef Newgarden’s car was found to be in breach of the series’ technical rules. Specifically, Penske was found guilty of a “body f🌠it violation on the rear attenuator” on the #2 Dallara-Chevrolet - raising several eyebrows i𓄧n the paddock.

Although Will Power’s car was cleared in technical inspection, it carried the same modification, pꦚrompting Penske to withdra🌠w both cars from the final segment of the car.

The team’s third driver, Scott McLaughlin, was already forced to miss the session after damagi𝕴ng his primary car in a major practice shunt.

F⛄ollowing Sunday’s drama, McLaren star O’Ward took aim at Penske, saying a team of its calibre doesn’t “need to be doing that stuff.”

He also feels IndyCar should have spotted the modification earlier and given other teams a fair chance at qualifying higher up the ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ꦬᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚgrid.

"They weren't accidentally doing it because they had the blowtorch right there in order to get it out," said O'Ward, who168澳洲5最新开奖结果: qualified on the front row. "Honestly, I feel for [Jacob] Abel and for everybody that did the disqualifications or the last chance💜 qualifying. Those cars weren't in regulations.

"I'm not an engineer, so I can't tell ﷺyou what they were doing, how much speed thaꦆt it is or if it is any speed. Obviously, it's not in regulation. The rule is pretty black and white.

“Those cars should have been in the last-chance qualifier. Like, those cars should have never — obviously, they didn't do anything in the Fast 12, but they should have been brought into the LCQ because they had that yesterday, I guarantee you....until som♔eone pointed it out to⛦day.

“Those cars, if they're disqualif🦋ied today, they should have been disqualified yesterday.

"It's a shame really because they don't nꦅeed to be doing that stuff. They're a great team. They have got great drivers. Why are doing that? It makes no sense."
