In the second practice session of the new IndyCar season, Andretti Global claimed the top spot with Marcus Ericsson after teammate Kyle Kirkwood’s P1 performance on Friday in St. Petersburg. Ericsson set the pace with a lap of 1m00.515s in the No. 28 Honda, closely followed by Rinus VeeKay in the No. 18 Honda and Alex Palou in the No. 10 car, forming a Honda 1-2-3. Chevy’s best showing came from Nolan Siegel in the No. 6 car, just 0.0001s behind Palou. However, there were challenges during the session including a suspected issue with Will Power’s motor generator unit, leading to a red flag. Prema Racing’s Robert Shwartzman also faced technical difficulties, while other drivers faced pit lane adjustments. Qualifying is up next at 2:30pm ET.
