TL;DR

The IndyCar season opener in St. Petersburg turned out to be a snoozefest, with Josef Newgarden leading 92 of 100 laps in a processional race. The mismatch between the weight of the cars and the hardness of the tire compounds, due to the late decision to start the season without hybrid units, made passing difficult and dulled the racing. Despite some standout performances, including a crew member's heroic actions and Alex Palou's quiet start to his title defense, the race left many teams wondering what went wrong in their attempt to challenge Penske's dominance.
