And he has... and he’s currently driving for Arrow McLaren SP, a team that has been proving itself to be a threat to the Big Three IndyCar teams. He just won Rookie of the Year honors for the Indy 500.
Last Sunday, my wife and I felt like his pit crew let him down on that last pitstop,then Newgarden edged him out of the pits. Wish there wasn't a yellow,would have been a very interesting ending🤔
How bout that Pato? Made fast six within 3 days of ever driving an Indycar. What a high that must have been! I speak with a little experience. My first race at Sears I finished last. Then I got some coaching and was seventh on the grid the next race. Boy was I stoked!
I wonder why was he using 1st gear while exiting the chicanes and the hairpins... he had to wait too much before applying full power. Thanks again for another awesome visor cam video!
Usually staying in lower gears going around chicanes and hairpins will allow the car to hit higher RPMS when accelerating. I bet you he also get more torque to go right away and allows the turbo to spool at higher RPMs then in higher gears. The car does rev to 12,000 RPMS so I would imagine a lot of power is on top.
Lower gears make the car turn better in low speed corners. That’s what I’d say but it could be so many different things. A live Q & A session would have been cool to ask Patricio questions like this!
@@RodClinard he has a lot of push. He isnt able to get the car to turn in. He has to put too much input in exiting the corners as well so when he puts the power down it snaps and causes over steer.
Dallas Kearns I guess you've never been on the track. Going up to the carousel blind at 155 does lead to boredom. Likewise an off camber turn two. Much more difficult track that Laguna and I've raced both many times. Not quite at these speeds.
Dylan Cotton turns 1,2,5,6,8,8a (corkscrew ), and 11 are left handlers. The corkscrew to turn ten is a ten story drop so have you ever even been there?
Sorry but Indylights drivers quality seems way off the likes of F1 ladder drivers... just notice how a F1 reject like Wickens has killed all rookies and most stablished drivers in Indycar...It really sounds awful to read all the injuries he suffered in the crash but I only worry about the spinal cord damage... GET WELL ROBERT!!!
You must not follow racing much. Wickens came from the indycar ladder and then went to Europe and kicked ass. He’s thought of highly in Europe. That Max Chilton, and Ed Jones are really lighting the world on fire. Max Still can’t hack it in IndyCar despite making into glorious F1, where all but about 6 cars are talent lacking ride buyers. Jones went from Europe to lights, to Indycar and is doing mediocre on one of the top teams. I would put Colton Herta and Pato up against any f2 driver and they would be on par.
F1 reject usually means they aren't rich kids though. Very very few get there without money and even if you have skill/money good luck finding a good ride.
Nah Patricio is highly talented and quite honestly he will make it into IndyCar as a champion and future winner of the Indy 500. Forget the talent ladder that F1 has this is 10x different so the comparison you're bringing up is highly irrelevant plus Wickens was never a F1 reject mate.
So awesome!!! This kid is going to do great things in IndyCar !
2020....pato ward with the fastest mph and the indy 500.
Faster then Scott dixon's
And he has... and he’s currently driving for Arrow McLaren SP, a team that has been proving itself to be a threat to the Big Three IndyCar teams.
He just won Rookie of the Year honors for the Indy 500.
Double podiums on double header weekend and his first time driving an Indycar at WWTC raceway
Last Sunday, my wife and I felt like his pit crew let him down on that last pitstop,then Newgarden edged him out of the pits.

3rd in 2021 indy champion he will do great things in the future
I see bit of Alonso and Montoya in his driving style. I think this guy will soar so high, he'll win Indycar championship, Indy 500 and many more.
Yup, yogur right, he said that his inspiraction was Alonso
Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing him and Herta in their debuts. Thanks Harding Racing for bringing them on for this weekend!
Love the sound.

Can you do this more often?
It’s Señor Duck!
It's muh boi
Royal Stygian It’s you!
@@F-Man I was talking about PATO you quack.
Daffy Duck
Hypnotized!
Dale con todo Pato ! Cuac cuac !
I hope an interview follows , to get his initial thoughts

Can't imagine the mechanical grip in a Harding is the best either.
I've driven this car in simulators and I found that first gear was actually quite usable, but I'm not sure if that is accurate or not 🤔
Lower gears make the car turn better in low speed corners. That’s what I’d say but it could be so many different things. A live Q & A session would have been cool to ask Patricio questions like this!
Yes they are but other things such as the shocks and dampers are not so that's where a lot of the "speed" is found.
2:09 ay!
Grande O'ward
Esse somzinho
Muito bom, e ainda mais com uma câmera de visão do piloto
Just a little bumpy out there
Practicing his way into Indycar
I have to say, that looks fun.
Patricioooooo 😍😍
So, if I remember correctly, Sonoma is the new Infineon Raceway?
Yes
O’ward va a ganar rookie of the year
O'Ward 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Show! I lov it!
Fuck. Yes.
Modern Sonoma kinda sucks. I'm sure it's more fun in real life to drive, but in sims it's such a drag.
He was having a hard time it seems from his hands. He figured it out there at the end but damn he was kinda all over the place at first.
No tire warmers in Indycar, takes about two laps for the tires to get up to temp.
I was there that day. He had a tough time at first,but then he learned the track. Im sure they worked on the car too.
Great footage. Don’t ride those kerbs ⛰😂
👏👏👏👏
Much better visibility than F1 (#F1FTW, though)
Go out Sonoma. Back Vancouver and Cleveland
Is it me or does the Sonoma layout for NASCAR is a lot longer than IndyCar?
The Indycar layout is quite a bit longer than the NASCAR version.
1:41:9 lock up
I miss Gabby Cháves
Future adrian fernandez?
Highly possible!!! I think he has the potential to have the same pride and skill that Adrian Fernandez had back in CART and the IRL.
i hope so too
Car looked like it needed some help with set up. Push on entry and loose on exit. No bueno.
Track had low grip that's all.
Totally agree. Figured once the tires came up to temp it would get better. Didn't appear to.
@@RodClinard he has a lot of push. He isnt able to get the car to turn in. He has to put too much input in exiting the corners as well so when he puts the power down it snaps and causes over steer.
Not a good track. Laguna Seca is much better. Probably OK for the door slammers, but too featureless for an open wheel car.
Dallas Kearns I guess you've never been on the track. Going up to the carousel blind at 155 does lead to boredom. Likewise an off camber turn two. Much more difficult track that Laguna and I've raced both many times. Not quite at these speeds.
And Laguna Seca has more features? Mate it has one decent corner. The rest are fucking 90 degree right handers like you find on a tilkedrome
I think both tracks are pretty poor for open wheel but Sonoma has more features than seca.
Dylan Cotton turns 1,2,5,6,8,8a (corkscrew ), and 11 are left handlers. The corkscrew to turn ten is a ten story drop so have you ever even been there?
@@clubford33 I meant left hand corners. And what happened the other day puts Laguna Seca even lower in my books. If that's a good track so is Sochi

F1 reject... you do know he came through the Champ Car ladder before Europe, right?

Spectator-wise this track is Ugly.
Depends where you sit.
Oh no it's not
