Bourdais nips Rossi in IndyCar morning warm-up
This warm up session started dry and turned to wet halfway through. Most drivers ran only a few laps on the rain tires because the track was not wet enough and the back tires blistered due to the excessive heat. Many different type of tires were run this morning.
Sebastien Bourdais was the quickest all session, with the pole sitter, Alexander Rossi, following second.
