Toronto IndyCar: Rosenqvist leads Power in warm-up

Felix Rosenqvist maintained his sparkling form throughout the Honda Indy Toronto weekend by topping raceday warm-up ahead of Will Power who appeared to have made a breakthrough in terms of setup.

Rosenqvist, who will start from third in this afternoon’s race, lapped the 1.786-mile street course in 59.947sec at 107.255mph, approximately one tenth faster than Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda teammate Scott Dixon who will start second.

But the pair were split by Power’s Team Penske-Chevrolet, which will be starting 15^th due to the three-time Toronto winner’s struggles throughout practice and qualifying.

Graham Rahal’s Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing-Honda kept Josef Newgarden and polesitter Simon Pagenaud down in fifth and sixth, while Alexander Rossi half-spun his Andretti Autosport-Honda into the tires at Turn 8 but without damaging the car.

Colton Herta, like Power, is starting atypically low on the grid (16^th) but finished the session in eighth ahead of the second RLLR car of Takuma Sato and Spencer Pigot of Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevrolet.

The Honda Indy Toronto is due to start at 3.40pm local (Eastern) time.
