"Indy 500 Practice: O'Ward Criticizes Aero Package, Ericsson Leads, and Overrated Drivers Identified"

IndyCar's new aero package for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been criticized by drivers for not improving racing. The package, which includes additional underwing wickers and a new rear wing main plane pillar, has created a 'DRS train' effect where cars run nose-to-tail behind the leaders. Drivers have said that only the first two lead cars can overtake each other, and running in traffic is still a challenge. However, some drivers have praised the new parts for giving teams more options to run more downforce in their cars.
