## Resource

Indy 500 ads clocked in at 36 minutes—less than some feared—but Mick Schumacher’s F1-to-IndyCar transition is still a steep climb, with new cars, no power steering, and limited testing slowing his progress. His team’s engineering is growing, but consistency remains a hurdle. Meanwhile, top drivers are stepping up, and with key staff returning, the second half of the season could shine. Strategy is heating up too, with teams reportedly eyeing top minds—and drivers taking more ownership of race plans. And fans might be craving a superspeedway return, especially where TV ratings lag behind Indy. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
