O'Ward feared F1 outing would suffer abrupt early end
McLaren IndyCar driver Pato O’Ward has been looking forward to his first outing at a F1 Grand Prix weekend for months, and he finally got his chance to head out in the MCL36 in today's first practice session in Abu Dhabi. But almost the minute he hit the track, the car suffered issues and he was ordered to limp back to pit lane in second gear, all the time fearing that he wouldn't have a second opportunity in the car. Fortunately the issue was quickly corrected by the pit crew and O'Ward was able to head back out after a relatively minimal delay. He went on to complete 22 laps in the one-hour session.
