The Indy 500 live stream is set to be a fascinating race after Robert Shwartzman became the first rookie to secure pole position for IndyCar's crown jewel event in 42 years. The Prema Racing driver finished ahead of a field full of veterans to secure top spot in final qualifying and will be aiming to cause another seismic shock when the race gets underway on Sunday.
The 25-year-old posted a four-lap average of 232.790 miles per hour at the iconic 2.5-mile Indianapolis oval to grab pole but will expect to come under huge pressure from fellow front-row sitter, and two-time Indy 500 winner, Takuma Sato.
The other shock came in the form of Top 12 Qualifying last Sunday where it was found that the seams of the attenuator component in both Team Penskes cars had been filled in. This is strictly forbidden and means that Josef Newgarden and Will Power will line up from 32nd and 33rd respectively.
Elsewhere, there are also plenty of other contenders in the 33-car field, including Mexican sensation and outright favorite Pato O'Ward, the hugely experienced New Zealander Scott Dixon, and Swedish ace Felix Rosenqvist.
