The Indy 500 – one of the highlights on the motorsport calendar – is here and you can watch it all across Sky Sports.
IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou will be aiming to defend his title in a race that is often unpredictable and known as “the greatest spectacle in racing” thanks to the bravery of 33 drivers going wheel to wheel at over 200mph on a 2.5-mile oval.
Palou is on pole position from former Manor F1 driver Alexander Rossi after a thrilling qualifying, while two-time Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden has work to do from 23rd.
There are four other former Formula 1 drivers in the field – Takuma Sato, Marcus Ericsson, Romain Grosjean and Mick Schumacher.
You can watch every session live on Sky Sports, including coverage of the race itself on Sunday ahead of Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix.
