Overview
- Palou took the lead during a pit stop under Sunday’s only yellow flag and beat polesitter Felix Rosenqvist to win the 90‑lap race.
- The victory is Palou’s second of 2026 and it moves him 17 points clear of Kyle Kirkwood after five of 18 rounds.
- Mick Schumacher rose from 21st to 17th for his best IndyCar result after a Friday powertrain fault led to an engine change and a Saturday slide into the Fountain barriers.
- Rahal Letterman Lanigan has veteran Eddie Jones working as Schumacher’s temporary race engineer through the upcoming Indianapolis road‑course events.
- Qualifying used a revamped final round with single‑lap runs that Rosenqvist won ahead of Pato O’Ward, and the series now heads to the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on May 9.
