After a fast lap by Robert Wickens in the Arrow-modified hand-controlled Acura NSX , and Helio Castroneves then leading the pack in the IndyCar two-seater, Simon Pagenaud ’s Team Penske-Chevrolet and Scott Dixon ’s Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda led the field to the green flag. The polesitter just about held off the five-time champion, but Dixon then had to fend off an outside attack from Alexander Rossi into Turn 3. The Andretti Autosport driver had already demoted the other Ganassi car of Felix Rosenqvist , while Ed Jones had moved his Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevy ahead of the second Penske of Josef Newgarden . Sebastien Bourdais (Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser-Sullivan) and Takuma Sato (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) ran seventh and eighth.

Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 Score Details DT Recommended Product “Microsoft's Surface Laptop 4 is easily the best in the line so far, thanks to huge advances in performance.” AMD chips widely available in configurations Thinnest 15-inch laptop Superb build quality Great typing experience Long-lasting battery life Older AMD chips hold back performance Thick bezels, poor webcam MSRP $1,800.00 Well, Microsoft did it. It finally fixed the Surface Laptop 4. The previous model was plagued by poor performance and a lack of solid configurations to choose from.

That added up to $1,800, which … [Read more...] about Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 review: Steps in the right direction

Herta went a quarter-second faster than Harvey with his final run to claim pole for the 2021 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, with a 60.3210sec effort on his fourth lap. Harvey however can be satisfied to have laid down a 60.5 on his second lap, beating Team Penske duo Josef Newgarden and Simon Pagenaud. Read Also: Pole-winner Herta puzzled by tires, happy with family ties Given several teams’ struggles to lay down a fast lap on the Firestone alternate tires through Q1 and Q2, Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet driver Pato O’Ward went out on fresh primary tires and stayed on them, but the tactic didn’t pay off and he wound up sixth, 0.75sec from top spot. He will start alongside two-time St. Pete winner Sebastien Bourdais, who as in the opening race at Barber Motorsports Park, has again done justice to his AJ Foyt Racing-Chevy.
