Anyway, I'm more concerned about the poor actions of backmarkers. Daly didn't let Pagenaud lap him for a full stint. And Hawksworth was partially responsible for the second incident.

IndyCar should be more strict about backmarkers letting cars by.

I'm surprised that Rahal wasn't told to enter the pits and change the front wing. The pieces were flying everywhere.
That was a considerable chunk of front wing that was sitting in the middle of the track. I think that was very poor to just leave it there.

I don't hold Hawksworth partly responsible, he was moving over and Rahal saw a gap and was a little too impatient to get past and away from Pagenaud.
