Patooward’s victory in Toronto brought him closer to championship leader Alex Pow at the top of the table.
After winning last weekend, Pat went second in the championship in Iowa, and did a strong job of keeping the Spaniards farther.
O’ward was helped by a mistake in strategy by Parow, who left it too long at his first pit stop, despite leading a big segment in the race, and then made the wrong choice to go to the soft compound.
After the race, Palou called for strategy and admitted it was his own fault.
He said: “I chose a strategy. We’ve done something wrong today. I thought it would give us the best option to win. I wanted to pay ahead so we wouldn’t be locked in traffic.
“We knew it would be a dangerous strategy compared to the initiation of alternatives. We could open up a big gap after that first yellow, but today it wasn’t enough.”
For Kyle Kirkwood, it could have been a stronger weekend for Kyle Kirkwood, who seemed to win before he spun in the pit lane after Marcus Armstrong gave him a nudge. Nevertheless, Andretti’s driver came third in the rankings from Scott Dixon.
Dixon suffered from the same strategic issues as Palough and finished 10th, but Kirkwood recovered and finished sixth.
Kirkwood dropped from 2nd to 4th in the rankings after Iowa’s doubleheader, including his retirement at Sink 275.
One point separates the driver at 363 points at 363 points compared to Dixon’s 362.
Simpson, who won a third-place finish in Toronto, went from 17th to 14th to 14th in the championship, jumping over Alexander Rossi, Christian Rasmussen and Joseph Newgarden.
Coincidentally, after all three hit a wall, Jacob Abel collided with the wall and Rasmussen was heavily armed with Will Power, who gave him a puncture, and was involved in various incidents in the race with Newgarden.
Despite a good job boosting New Garden’s championship in Iowa, Toronto has put him back in order.
The American driver came in 18th place in Iowa and then moved up to 14th place.
He never finished below the seventh in the rankings by the end of the season.
Second-place finisher Rinus Veekay also promoted orders from the 12th to the 10th, but still follows David Malukas, who moved 9th from the 11th.
Both drivers overtook Santino Ferucci, who did not compete after a collision in the warm-up.
Scott McLaughlin dropped to 14th after retiring from two races with loose wheel nuts and slowly lined up following his early pit stops in Toronto.
