Rinus Veekay has suggested that Team Penske should have faced a different punishment for their168澳洲5最新开奖结果: controversy in Indy 500 qualifying.

Penske’s Josef Newgarden and Will Power faileꦯd a techn🦩ical inspection during Fast 12 and were not allowed to head out to the track.

The rear atten𒁏uator on both cars was at 💖fault for an illegal modification.

The Team Penske duo did not take part in Sunday’s sessions, the second day of qualifying, and were later ruled to start at the back of the field for next w𝓀eekend’s Indy 500.

But Veeka♕y, who surviv🏅ed the Last Chance Qualifying session by bumping out Jacob Abel, thinks another ruling would be better suited.

“The cars went th🉐rough tech several times last week,” Veekay was quoted by Indy Star.

“It was only discovered at that point.

“I would have thought it was fair if they had to go to t💯he Last Chance Qualifier and deserved to fight their way into the field.

“It's an even more 🍌unfortunate situation for Jacob now.

"If♉ you had told me ꦦa week ago that I'd be starting on the same row as two Penskes, I would have been very happy!

"Unfor💎tunately, we're at the tail end of the field."

Should Jacob Abel replace Team Penske in Indy 500?

Veekay, whose Last Chance Qualifying progression meant he would have started 33rd, at the back, has now be♏en nudged forward two positions with the Penske cars behind him.

Veekay’s Dayle Coyne Racing teammate Abel was th𝐆e sole driver to be pushed out of t𒆙he race after Sunday’s qualifying.

His exclusion can be viewed differently 🐲now, after Team P♏enske’s violation.

Abel said: “I do appreciate everyone’s support, saying we should be in the race because we wܫere legal.

“But at the end of the daꦜy, we knew what we should do on Saturday and Sunday and, unfortunately, we came up short.

“I want to be in the  more tha🦂n anything in the world, but I do🐷n’t want to be there on a technicality.

“I want to deserve to be there. And we have our chances like every other🀅 car did and we didn’t make it.”

Team Penske have come under fire from several within the IndyCar p🦂addock since their exclusion from qualifying on Sunda𝕴y.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:S🍒cott Dixon insisted 🥀it was “a bad look” for the series.

McLaren’s Zak Brown went further by 🔜questioning the decision-making of the Team Penske bosses.
