Will Power said he was unaware of any manipulations to Team Penske's push-to-power system until after last weekend's IndyCar race at Long Beach and never illegally used the mechanism. Josef Newgarden has not addressed the issue yet.
Will Power said Thursday he was unaware of any manipulations to Team Penske's push-to-power system until after last weekend's IndyCar race at Long Beach and never illegally used the mechanism.
Power finished fourth and while his result was not thrown out, he was docked 10 points and all three Penske drivers were fined $25,000. Power has not been accused of any wrongdoing by IndyCar but was punished because the manipulated systems were found on all three Penske cars following Sunday morning's warmup in California."There was an oversight by our team and I was unaware of the situation until it was brought to our attention following Long Beach.
Team Penske has maintained that the push-to-pass system on its three Chevrolets was utilized in a test session for upcoming hybrid engines and then mistakenly not replaced before the start of the season. It remained on the cars for three races and Newgarden onboard videos clearly show the reigning Indianapolis 500 winner illegally using push-to-pass to gain position on at least one restart.said he used the system for less than 2 seconds and gained no positions on the track.
IndyCar then examined the units, found them to be illegal, and forced the team to correct the systems before the race.
