00:00 mais ça n'a pas éclaté le jeune Nouveau-Zélandais.
00:03 Ici est Pat O'Ward,
00:04 allons faire un tour, écoutez.
00:06 -Try grade 4 whenever you want.
00:14 Try grade 4 whenever you want.
00:16 (Musique)
00:36 (Musique)
00:51 -All right, we continue to watch Pat O'Ward.
00:53 Let's check in with Nate Ryan
00:54 and talk more about the Arrow McLaren driver.
00:56 Nate?
00:57 -That's right, Tim.
00:57 I think people remember the interview
00:59 that Pat O'Ward did with us after race 2.
01:01 He was basically just consulate beside himself,
01:04 trying to understand why his car just didn't handle well.
01:07 It felt like he was wrecking every lap.
01:09 I asked him again about that yesterday,
01:11 and if there had been some soul-searching in the team
01:13 and trying to figure out what happened.
01:14 And he long paused and he said that he still,
01:17 honestly, does not have an answer why,
01:18 the team doesn't have an answer why.
01:20 He said the balance just would randomly shut off
01:22 during that race at Iowa,
01:24 which of course, very surprising
01:25 because McLaren traditionally has been good on the ovals.
01:28 They were good at Texas, they were good at Indy.
01:30 And Alexander Rossi, Pat O'Ward's teammate,
01:32 said that Iowa was the biggest disappointment
01:34 of the year for Aaron McLaren.
01:36 He expected to go there and get a podium,
01:37 but the car just wasn't up to where it was
01:40 in Texas and Indy.
01:40 So, Rossi and Pat O'Ward both said something
01:43 they'll need to explore
01:44 for the next oval race at Gateway.
01:46 -It was pretty costly too for O'Ward.
01:48 He dropped two positions in the championship standings
01:50 from third to be in a tie for fifth now
01:53 with Scott McLachlan.
01:54 So, a valuable weekend ahead coming for the highest
01:59 Aaron McLaren driver in the championship point situation.
02:02 A little over 12 minutes remain here in Nashville, Tennessee
02:05 on a very wet morning.
02:07 Rearward on bias is the call from the pit box.
02:11 Marcus Ericsson's the quickest over Scott McLachlan
02:14 and Scott Dixon.
02:15 Make that Marcus Armstrong now.
