Satrday morning at Indianapolis - The IndyCars hold their P-3 practice…
.
…also known as the "warm-up’, the post-qualifying session is always hard to read, because we never know what everyone is trying to accomplish with the session. Each team, each car may have a different program. Some are still looking for race pace while others are checking their primary / alternate tire strategy or something else. There is no way to say that the fastest guys in warm-up are the ONLY fast guys. Still, fast guys here will also be fast in the race, because they are fast in their race set-up, rather than a qually set-up.
