Re: The Alessandro Zanardi IndyCar Thread
Lately, Team Penske has been caught cheating after the season opener in St. Petersburg, FLA. They ran a manipulated Push-To-Pass button that was enabled during starts and restarts when it should not have been. According to findings, Josef Newgarden used it 3 times during the race, Scott McLaughlin u...
