“First of all, I’m very thankful for all the men and women on the NTT INDYCAR SERIES medical team and for all the great work they do. I do have a broken right thumb. It’s unfortunate because the injury occurred when I almost made it around the corner, and I didn’t want to give up on it, so I didn’t quite get my hands off the wheel in time. However, everyone seems optimistic about the kind of injury it is. We’re going to take the next steps here and get ready for Gateway.”

“It was a bit of a hectic session. The grip was very low at the start, and the track changed quite a bit throughout the session. I think it will continue to evolve through the rest of the weekend. We don’t really know where we’re at, but we will continue to work to get better. Of course, I am thinking about my teammate Alex and am crushed to hear about the injury.”

Pato O’Ward, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

“First off, I’m thinking about my teammate right now and am just gutted for him. As for the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, it was a tough day. We had a hybrid water coolant issue that we’re still investigating, which meant that we didn’t get to run on the Firestone Alternate tires. It was a tough session; not just for us, but others as well, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.”

Gavin Ward, Team Principal

“We are just gutted for Alex and the entire No. 7 crew. We’ll do everything we can to support him, and that is really what matters today. We had an issue on Pato’s car that was related to the hybrid coolant pump. We don’t know the exact details yet, but we’re looking into it. We will focus on getting the most that we can out of the weekend. We continue to race for Bob, and we will do what we do and carry on.”
