20:44
Lundgaard takes P1
He has an engine penalty so that makes O'Ward tomorrows pole sitter.
20:44
Chequered flag
Everyone is going quicker by Palou doesn't seem to be on a lap.
20:43
Palou loses fastest lap
The mistake means he loses his fastest lap and he is now on flat spotted tyres - big chance for O'Ward here.
20:42
Palou in the wall at the final corner
That's the same mistake as Robert Shwartzman earlier but he got luckier with it despite having more speed.
20:41
Power is the current fastest
He is followed by Lundgaard and Rosenqvist. Palou sits fourth ahead of O'Ward in fifth.
20:38
Fast Six goes green
In many ways it is your Fast Five as whatever Christian Lundgaard does he will start six places below his qualifying position.
20:28
Your Fast Six
- Felix Rosenqvist
- Christian Lundgaard
- Pato O'Ward
- Alex Palou
- Will Power
- David Malukas
20:27
Rossi is painfully out
He just misses out by the skin of his teeth.
20:26
Everyone in the elimination zone is improving
There is not a single driver in the elimination zone not going quicker. This will still all change.
20:26
Palou goes fastest
Power goes second while Malukas goes fourth. Ericsson is in the top six.
20:24
Four laps available
Drivers can still get four laps in which likely means two or three push laps.
20:22
Who needs to improve?
Dixon currently sits in ninth while Ericsson is plum last in 12th.
20:21
O'Ward goes fastest
Palou and Newgarden both go quicker however. The new engine is really bringing Josef into this, he also has a six place grid penalty though.
20:20
Lundgaard goes to the top
Palou originally sat on top but Lundgaard now takes the top spot. He has a six place grid penalty so even if he makes the Fast Six, he will not start there.
20:19
Who will make it into the Fast Six?
Our championship competitors Pato O'Ward and Alex Palou both topped their groups so expect them to go through while drivers such as Rossi and Armstrong will need everything they've got here.
20:13
Your Top Twelve
- Alex Palou
- Kyffin Simpson
- Will Power
- Marcus Armstrong
- Alexander Rossi
- David Malukas
- Pato O'Ward
- Marcus Ericsson
- Josef Newgarden
- Felix Rosenqvist
- Scott Dixon
- Christian Lundgaard
20:06
Newgarden makes it in
Newgarden goes third, looks like that new engine is coming in handy as he saves himself from elimination.
20:06
This is going to be very close for a lot drivers
No one seems to be improving in the elimination zone. I think that Herta and Kirkwood are both out.
20:05
Herta goes fourth
O'Ward also goes quickest with Kirkwood in seventh.
20:04
Christian Rasmussen goes third
Ed Carpenter Racing are looking good today, can they get both cars into Fast Twelve?
20:03
Two minutes on the clock
Ericsson sits on top while Dixon, Herta, and Lundgaard all need improvements.
20:00
O'Ward sits in fourth
He currently looks less competitive than Palou and has done through practice.
19:59
Times changing quickly
Dixon goes quickest and now its O'Ward out in the drop zone in ninth. Things are changing quickly in Group Two.
19:58
Group underway
O'Ward tops the time sheets while Scott Dixon sits 12th.
