Five predictions for the Indy GP

IndyCar returns to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend to kick off the month of May with the IndyCar GP.

For those that remember the Formula 1 races at Indianapolis, the course layout is similar, using a section of the oval as well as a road course laid out on the infield to create a technical circuit.

The race last year was won by Will Power, whilst Scott Dixon charged from 18th to finish second, with rookie Robert Wickens rounding out the top three.

This year, with performance so closely matched amongst so many teams and drivers, the field is as unpredictable as ever, but the cream always tends to rise to the top, so here are my five predictions for the Indy GP.

1) Josef Newgarden will once again finish in the top five.

2) A Swede (that'll be either Felix Rosenqvist or Marcus Ericsson) will be on the podium.

3) Another race without a full course yellow?

4) Boom or bust for an aggressive Alexander Rossi

5) Carlin to get a top 10 finish

Lets see how many of these come true...
