Pato O’Ward accuses Marcus Ericsson of "choking" in Alex Palou Indy 500 showdown

Despite being one of the top favorites to add his face to the Borg-Warner Trophy this past weekend, Pato O'Ward ended his Indianapolis 500 run in fourth place.

The No. 5 Arrow McLaren driver started on the front row, but never had the pace to contend for the win. He watched as Alex Palou built up speed and passed Marcus Ericsson with 14 laps to go — a move that ended up being the decisive one for the win.

Ultimately, he took the checkered flag.
