Pride must be flying within the people of Sweden today.
The reports that I read is that, Marcus Ericsson holds former F1 racer Ronnie Peterson in high esteem.
Marcus has done in the past tribute helmets to Ronnie.

Ronnie & Marcus.

I suspect this in a Swedish publication, and Lars might give us a summary of the article.

Snaking (weaving back and forth) over 220 mph to win, is what makes oval racing at Indy entertaining.
A safe & competitive race - well done lads.

When I see the distant between the side of the rod not touching the piston (the gap length/distance where we see the bearings & pin) to the side of the piston, I have to think this much play/clearance has to do with compensating for engine vibrations & heat expansion.
Or do you need a minimum amount of, rods sliding (back & forth) on the pins to be able to assembly & rebuild the engines.

I just noticed this (and I was there at the Paris 6 Hour in 1973) in the photo.
This deck-side air tunnel on Scotti's boat. The reason for it probably only the late Scotti knows.

Scotti did a lot of testing with small rear wings.
