IndyCar Qualifying Results: Pato O'Ward suffers NIGHTMARE as Team Penske star takes pole

The starting grid for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg has been set, with Scott McLaughlin coming out on top in the fast six and Pato O'Ward suffering a nightmare start to the IndyCar season.

Team Penske star McLaughlin set an impressive lap time of 59.4624 seconds around the streets of St. Pete in the final qualifying round, edging the likes of Andretti Global's Colton Herta and Meyer Shank Racing's Felix Rosenqvist for the pole.

Rosenqvist was one of two MSR cars to make it into the top four, with Marcus Armstrong set to start fourth on Sunday. McLaren's Christian Lundgaard and Chip Ganassi's Scott Dixon rounded out the top six in qualifying and will start in P5 and P6, respectively.

Lundgaard's McLaren team-mate O'Ward, meanwhile, crashed out in the first round despite being one of the favorites for this year's championship. O'Ward was one of two former St Pete Grand Prix winners to do so, with Will Power also suffering the same fate.

As a result, the Mexican will now start the race in P23 on Sunday, whilst Power starts in a healthier P13.

With all of that said, let's take a look at the qualifying results in full and the lineup for Sunday's GP!
