Insider: Rookie wins pole, 2 Penske cars pulled from qualifying
Motor sports insider Nathan Brown recaps a controversial day at the Indianapolis 500 pole day.
Editor's note: This article has been updated to reflect the new lineup after Josef Newgarden and Will Power were moved to the back of Sunday's grid.
The 109th edition of the Indianapolis 500 is nearly here and the event already delivered its first surprise. Rookie Robert Schwartzman of Israel stunned the rest of the field by winning the 2025 Indianapolis 500 pole position ahead of his first appearance at "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" on Sunday
Shwartzman, who hails from Tel Aviv, became the first rookie driver to win the Indianapolis 500 pole since 1983 in the No. 83 PREMA Racing Chevrolet. Prema Racing is also in its first season as a team on the Indy Car series and became the first team in more than 40 years to take pole position in their first appearance at the biggest American open-wheel race of the year.
Takuma Sato, who won the Indy 500 in 2017, posted the second-fastest time in qualifying and two-time runner-up Pato O'Ward took third. They will join Shwartzman on the front row for next Sunday's race. Josef Newgarden is the two-time defending Indianapolis 500 champion and will have to start from the back of the grid in his pursuit of an unprecedented third-straight win due to pre-race rules violations.
Here's a look at the complete starting lineup for this year's Indianapolis 500, as well as how to watch Sunday's race:

1940 Chevy Master Business Coupe Resurfaces After 64 Years in Abandoned Barn
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious After more than six decades hidden from the world, a 1940 Chevrolet Master Business Coupe has been discovered in a long-abandoned barn, remarkably intact and sparking new hope for preservation among classic car enthusiasts. The two-door coupe, long thought lost to time, reportedly sat untouched since 1961. Found blanketed in dust and surrounded by signs of long-term neglect—including a large rat nest in the trunk and a deteriorated interior—the car still retains much of its original form. Remarkably, rust is minimal, and the body appears solid despite being parked for 64 years. Introduced in 1933, the Chevrolet Master nameplate was part of GM's efforts to expand its model range, remaining a core part of the brand's prewar lineup. The 1940 model year marked a significant design update, with a broader grille extending past a V-shaped front fascia, sleeker fenders, and a longer 113-inch wheelbase. Chevrolet offered several body styles that year, but only 25,537 customers opted for the Business Coupe configuration—out of more than 400,000 total Masters produced. While not exceedingly rare by production numbers alone, surviving examples in unrestored condition are increasingly uncommon. The car is not entirely original, however. It appears to have received a repaint before its lengthy slumber, and under the hood lies a swapped inline-six engine, likely from the mid-1950s. Though this diminishes its historical purity, enthusiasts agree that the car's survival in such condition still holds significant value. Whether the Master will be restored or remain a survivor is uncertain, but classic car circles are already buzzing. For now, the coupe is safe, finally seeing daylight after a lifetime in the dark—a silent testament to American craftsmanship and the power of rediscovery.

Honda Wants to Make the 'World's Most Efficient' Hybrids
As electric vehicle enthusiasm wanes and more buyers pivot back to traditional gas cars and hybrids, many automakers are doing the same. Honda has already hinted at slowing its roll on EV production, and now the Japanese automaker wants to go all-in on hybrids. Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said in a statement that hybrid demand is growing, as reported by the UK's Autocar . With that, the company aims to launch a new fleet of hybrid vehicles with the "world's most efficient" combustion-electric powertrain, the CEO notes. 2025 Honda Civic Photo by: Honda The hybrid system itself will reportedly be slimmer and lighter than the current unit, with a rev range that's approximately 40 percent broader than it is now. The setup should yield efficiency improvements of around 10 percent, according to Honda. As previously reported by Motor1 , the company wants to launch 13 new models with its next-generation hybrid technology globally by 2030. North America is a "main battleground," according to the company, with Honda even aiming to roll out hybrid hardware on its largest vehicles Stateside—likely the Passport and Pilot. Mibe, though, didn't officially confirm which Honda products would get the new hybrid powertrain first, but he did say that the setup would pair with the company's existing 1.5- and 2.0-liter gas engines. That means vehicles in the US like the Accord, Civic , CR-V, and HR-V could all be tapped for the updated hybrid setup initially. 2025 Honda Accord That said, Honda isn't giving up on EVs entirely. The automaker will continue production of its upcoming 0 Series products, which include a new sedan and an SUV. Mibe noted: "We would like to see the battery EV business as a pillar of our business from 2030 onward." The Honda 0 SUV and 0 Saloon EVs will both launch sometime in 2026, but the company didn't provide a specific timeframe for its new hybrids. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Franco Morbidelli slams Aleix Espargaro after "unfair" Silverstone MotoGP crash
In the opening lap of MotoGP's British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Aleix Espargaro and Franco Morbidelli came together in an incident that led Espargaro to retire from the GP. Time has done little to cool tempers, and Morbidelli says he 'could've been much harsher' in his criticism of the Honda rider. It happened early, during the first lap of the initial start, when the Italian and the Spaniard found themselves toward the back of the pack after Morbidelli botched his getaway from tenth on the grid. Advertisement There, the Honda test rider lost control of his prototype and ended up colliding with the VR46 rider. Fortunately for Morbidelli, oil that spilled from his own Ducati led the marshals to wave the red flag and this allowed him to hop onto his second bike and rejoin the British GP. A fourth-place finish for Morbidelli brought some consolation but did little to erase what had happened with Espargaro – whom Morbidelli even accused of having something personal against him. The Catalan rider responded directly in a social media post, using sarcasm to make it clear that, obviously, crashing and taking Morbidelli out had not been part of his plan. Aleix Espargaro, HRC Test Team Aleix Espargaro, HRC Test Team Honda Racing Honda Racing Advertisement In Aragon, ten days after that heated exchange, the Italian didn't backtrack and instead doubled down on his stance. Morbidelli argued that, in his view, the incident exposed the poor conduct of the Spanish rider. 'I hate hearing that I was being harsh, because I could've been much harsher. The time that's passed hasn't changed my perspective one bit,' Morbidelli said, before detailing the reasons why, in his opinion, the older Espargaró brother should rethink how he approaches race weekends now that he is no longer a full-time rider. 'What happened to me on Sunday at Silverstone was unfair. That's not how a test rider should behave when racing against someone who's fighting for important points. That's regardless of whether Aleix made a mistake — which he did,' Morbidelli added. 'That mistake says a lot. First, it means a test rider isn't fulfilling his main role: gathering data for the factory. Even more so if, like in his case, he spends the whole weekend riding two seconds off the pace, only to crash on the first lap. Advertisement 'And I had to pay the price for all that with a fractured foot. That's why I could've gone much harder on him. But I simply said it seems like he's got something against me—because we've had our clashes in the past.' Despite the incident, which fractured the talus bone in his left foot, Morbidelli hailed his "amazing" recovery in the race. The Italian fought back to finish fourth on the road and, in the final laps of the race, even battled fiercely with championship leader Marc Marquez. The Spaniard ultimately came out on top and took the final podium spot.

'I don't know if, starting that far back, I would've been able to run that kind of race.' To read more articles visit our website.
