PREVIEW: NTT INDYCAR SERIES |<\/span> RD. 1
<\/strong>HONDA INDY GRAND PRIX OF ALABAMA<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n


The 2021 NTT INDYCAR SERIES is finally about to shift into gear following a lengthy winter break, with Felix Rosenqvist and his rivals sprinting out of the blocks into an intense start to the season with four races in three consecutive weekends.<\/strong>
 
The opening race of the year takes place this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park<\/strong>, with the grid then moving on immediately to the Streets of St. Petersburg (April 25) and a double-header round at Texas Motor Speedway on May 1-2.
 
Entering his third season in INDYCAR, Felix Rosenqvist embarks on a new chapter this year at new team Arrow McLaren SP, having joined the Chevrolet-powered squad over the winter to team up with Mexico\u2019s Pato O\u2019Ward.
 
\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting time heading into my first season at Arrow McLaren SP and with four consecutive races to start off the campaign,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cWinter testing has been alright, but we get very little running nowadays and it\u2019s hard to draw any proper conclusions, really. 
 
\u201cI\u2019m keen to get going and to get into all the new race weekend routines. I\u2019m sure there will be a bit of a learning curve to begin with, but I\u2019m feeling very much at home and I think everyone is excited to see how we do this weekend and the following ones.\u201d<\/em>
 
This weekend\u2019s season-opener at Barber Motorsports Park features a compact two-day schedule, with practice and qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday. 
 
The fast nature of the Alabama venue combines with a 90-lap race distance to make this event one of the physically most demanding on the entire INDYCAR calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
