Indianapolis 500 runner-up Marcus Ericsson was one of three top-12 finishers from Sunday’s race whose cars failed a post-race inspection, resulting in a drop to the back of the field.
For Ericsson, that means that he fell from second place to 31st out of 33 drivers who competed.

The cars driven by Ericsson and his Andretti Global teammate Kyle Kirkwood were found in their post-race inspections to have unapproved modifications to the covers on their Dallara-supplied Energy Management System hybrid units.
Per IndyCar, those units are required to be used as supplied, and the modifications “provided the capability of enhanced aerodynamic efficiency to both cars.” Kirkwood dropped from sixth place to 32nd after the penalty.
The car driven by Prema Racing’s Callum Ilott “failed to meet the minimum endplate height and location specification.” Ilott dropped from 12th place to 33rd because of his team’s penalty.
The penalty means more frustration for Ericsson, who held a late lead in Sunday’s race before being passed by winner Alex Palou. Ericsson, a former Formula 1 driver, held the lead with 14 laps remaining, but was passed by Palou while entering Turn 1.
Palou did not relinquish the lead from there en route to his fifth win in six races this season. Ericsson held on for second place until his post-race penalty dropped him to 31st, a fall that comes with a likely six-figure reduction in payout.

Indy 500 payouts aren’t straight forward and don’t simply award drivers and teams progressively based on where they finished. Other factors including laps led and qualifying performance impact the final payouts.

Per the Indianapolis Star, Ericsson earned $610,500 for his 31st-place finish. The Athletic estimates that his payout for second place would have exceeded $1 million. The cars for both Ericsson and Kirkwood were each issued a $100,000 penalty for the infractions. The competition managers for both cars are suspended for the upcoming Detroit Grand Prix scheduled for June 1.
Palou earned $3.8 million for winning the Indy 500.

Řepka se obul do FAČR. Po Haškovi se šlapalo, teď se vymýšlejí kraviny, zlobí se bývalý stoper
Nelíbí se vám, že vedení FAČR avizovalo, že možná půjde zahraniční cestou? A tím, že mužstvo asi zatím povede Haškův asistent Jaroslav Köstl.Nevím, jestli je dobře dávat k nároďáku cizince. Proč? Na co? Po Hášovi se šlapalo od začátku, neměl žádný klid. Furt byl ve stresu. Potkával jsem se s ním na různých akcích, bylo na něm vidět, že je vystresovaný. Nenechali ho pracovat, prostě to bylo na prd. Nechápu, proč Hášu nenechali kvalifikaci dojet. Před kvalifikací řekl, že cílem je postup na mistrovství světa. A že je jedno, jestli přímo nebo přes baráž. Situace přece není fatální.Zvýšil se tlak na Haška příchodem Pavla Nedvěda do pozice generálního manažera reprezentací?Pavla mám rád.

Mike McDaniel doesn’t commit to Tua Tagovailoa after 3-interception performance: ‘Everything is on the table’
It's been a season to forget for the Miami Dolphins. Following a 31-6 beatdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 7, changes could be on the horizon for the franchise.Head coach Mike McDaniel remains a popular candidate to be fired, but he could take another key figure down with him before he gets the ax. That would be quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who McDaniel didn't exactly support following a three-interception performance against the Browns.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhen asked about how he will regroup with Tagovailoa, McDaniel told reporters "everything is on the table," suggesting the coach could consider a change, per Pro Football Talk.“Everything is on the table, when you go to a game you fully know you have the capability to win and get handed a very, very humbling loss.

Úctyhodných 113 zápasů a skvostných 498 gólů. Na této metě se nakonec zastavily statistiky písecké rodačky. „Mohla jsem to zaokrouhlit, ale i tohle číslo se mi líbí,“ podotkla Korešová.Dlouho se zdálo, že jejím posledním reprezentačním představením zůstane dvojzápas v dubnu 2022, kdy Češky v rámci kvalifikace na mistrovství Evropy 2022 nejprve zaskočily Francii, avšak poté podlehly Chorvatsku a na turnaj nepostoupily.
