Hull is highly respected throughout the paddock for his insights and he recently shared his thoughts on the Team Penske Push to Pass bypass controversy before Fast Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Following the discovery of the infraction, IndyCar imposed significant penalties on all three Team Penske drivers a few weeks ago. Newgarden and McLaughlin had their results from St. Pete stripped, which included a win and a podium finish, respectively. Monetary fines were also issued, and to prevent future circumvention of fair play systems, IndyCar mandated the standardization of ECUs for all teams. Despite various opinions circulating, Hull expressed his dissatisfaction with Team Penske’s current position but emphasized the team’s focus on maximizing their program’s potential. Team Penske also enforced suspensions on key personnel, creating a challenging dynamic during the crucial period leading up to the Indy 500. Overall, despite the penalties served, it is evident that not all members of the paddock are content with the situation.
