Will Power reacts to the firings at Team Penske

Will Power recently spoke about the firing of key individuals at Team Penske. The consequences took place after two of the three Team Penske cars were found violating rule 14.7.8.16 for illegal modifications.

On May 23, while talking to the press, Will Power spoke about the firings of the key individuals and also how times like these motivate people to work together. He said (via IndyCar.com)

"People have to step up now because we're missing some key individuals, and that can be motivating for people,” he said. “It’s like, ‘All right, I've got to take on more work and responsibility.’ You know, that's all of us in the team right now"

“I think you get the best out of people in those situations. No one is ever ready for that. That's why competition is so good. I think that's what always gets the best out of me is tough situations. You see how good you really are.” Power added.

Will Power incurred a penalty for the same incident, which resulted in him starting the Indianapolis 500 at the back of the grid in 33rd place. His teammate, Josef Newgarden, was also handed the penalty and started in 32nd place.
