Shwartzman on his shock Indy 500 pole (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-05-19 16:53:35 +0000 UTCAfter a stunning Sunday of Indy 500 qualifying action, Robert Shwartzman and Prema Racing gave us one of the storylines that will go down in the event’s long history, and he’s here to tell us about it.
Shwartzman discusses the difficulty in putting his lap together, how the team went from nothing to being in contention for pole, what set up up to be able to achieve this, and more.
JR Hildebrand - who calls Shwartzman’s Fast 12 run one of the most incredible things he’s seen at the Speedway, listen to find out why - joins to give a fascinating and in-depth look at how the hybrid unit has revolutionised this year’s event as well as breaking down Shwartzman’s performance.
There’s also a run down of some of the other key storylines from qualifying. Please not this was recorded just as the news of two Team Penske cars being put to the back of the grid was announced, so that will be properly addressed in the next episode.

I hope that there is another podcast dedicated to the Penske scandal. Especially the revelation that last year’s winning car also had the illegal attenuator. This is a big deal and cannot be glazed over as Penske would like it to be. I will certainly be booing them at the race next week as it is shameful that they are even racing.

Will there be any posts or discussion on the Penske Attenuator controversy?
