"I think we're still not sure, like, exactly what we're going to run in the race in terms of downforce and stuff. I think we're still deciding. So we tried a bunch of different setups, basically so we're ready for whatever it's going to be. Also, like in the test, I normally run the highline. I think the highline will be usable in the race but normally on a race like this you just kind of end up in a single file. So still more to come always great to be out here it's double points technically with two races so even more important." Felix Rosenqvist said via IndyCar on Fox (0:27 onwards)
