The 2025 NTT IndyCar Series season begins in Florida, with Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg serving as the first of a 17-race calendar.
Pato O’Ward won last year’s edition, but hardly in traditional circumstances. Josef Newgarden celebrated following the conclusion of the race, but more than a month later, IndyCar announced that the Team Penske driver had been disqualified for violating the push-to-pass rules. O’Ward was elevated to race winner as a result, with Will Power and Colton Herta behind him.
The 31st IndyCar season sees Spanish driver Álex Palou aiming to claim a third straight season championship, and that path begins with a street circuit on Florida’s gulf coast. St. Petersburg has never been Palou’s best event, though, with the three-time IndyCar champion only managing two top-five finishes in five attempts.
