Simon Pagenaud

A light rain on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course during the 45-minute morning practice session didn't help drivers and teams prepare for the May 10 Grand Prix of Indianapolis. But it gave them a peek at qualifications, which also will be wet, according to weather forecasts.

The three rounds of qualifications, including the Firestone Fast Six to determine the Verizon P1 Award, are scheduled for 2 p.m. (ET). All sessions are being streamed live in conjunction with the IMS Radio Network broadcasts (Paul Page is the chief announcer) and Timing & Scoring on www.indycar.com and the INDYCAR 14 app.
