One of the biggest talking points heading into this year's Indianapolis 500 is the quality of the racing after the drab affair that was the 2018 edition.

IndyCar's then-new aerokit was always going to be an unknown until it hit race conditions, although warnings from drivers, including Graham Rahal, calling for more downforce went unanswered.
