Alexander Rossi topped the times in first practice at Toronto ahead of defending race-winner Simon Pagenaud, as IndyCar returned to Canada for the first time since 2019. Full report:
The Spaniard was the first driver into the 1m01s bracket, trimming his initial 1m01.839s lap to a 1m01.478s around the 1.786-mile circuit. Two-time Toronto pole-winner Will Power then delivered a 1m01.324s to go top for Team Penske before Rossi edged ahead by 0.017s.
A second red flag followed when Juncos Holinger driver Callum Ilott struck the wall at Turn 1, moments after 2009 polewinner Rahal went quickest with a 1m01.218s effort. Pagenaud's team-mate Helio Castroneves was the first to make it count, moving into second place behind Rahal, before Palou went fastest with a 1m01.137s effort and team-mate Scott Dixon slotted into second.Photo by: Michael L. Levitt /While team-mate Pato O’Ward overshot Turn 1, Rosenqvist then re-took the top with a 1m00.793s lap, but that was quickly shaded by Rossi, Rahal, Ericsson and Newgarden.
