Now struggling hugely with his tires, O’Ward ran wide at Turn 9, allowing Grosjean and then Kirkwood past. Power and VeeKay also passed him before he pitted on lap 24.
Palou hit the front for real on lap 33, 1.5s clear of Kirkwood. Series debutant Linus Lunqvist, who qualified an impressive 11, had followed Palou’s strategy route and jumped up to third. Grosjean and McLaughlin demoted him to fifth just before half distance, Lundqvist’s drive even more impressive given his mandatory cockpit airscoop had falled off.
McLaughlin attacked Grosjean for third on lap 44, but the Frenchman – whom he put in the wall here last year and at St Petersburg earlier this season – got his elbows out and repelled his advances for now. overshot a corner but managed to find reverse and rejoin. Palou dropped to 16but – despite being loaded with a brimmed fuel tank and primary tires – it was always going to be a stretch to get to the finish from here.
With 25 laps remaining, Kirkwood led McLaughlin by 2.5s from Palou, Newgarden, Dixon, Ericsson and O’Ward. Grosjean picked off Power and O’Ward, with Lundgaard doing likewise behind him.
