Strong early pace from David Malukas (malukasdavid) in Indy500 practice, but he admits his car's handling was 'on the spicy side' 🌶 Here's what he had to say 👇

, Malukas is now partnered by rookie Sting Ray Robb, who is currently 13th fastest.

When asked how it felt to be team leader, he replied: “It’s weird to say that somehow I’m the veteran. I’m still calling myself ‘Little Dave’! “I’m trying to help Sting Ray as much as possible. The good thing is our driving styles are very alike, very similar, so looking at the previous footage from Takuma last year, I’m trying to tell him everything he told me.

“I’m being an open book. The quicker he’s up to speed, the better we’re going to be able to do working different setups so both of us can advance up the grid. “We did a little bit of traffic running, so the rest of today is about trying to find some pace on our own. And then maybe at the end of the day, with the last sets of tires, people will be ready to come play and we’ll do some traffic running.”
