St. Petersburg – Race: Linus scores podium in season-opener

Linus has clinched a podium in the opening Indy Lights race of the season, finishing third in the curtain-raiser around St. Petersburg on Sunday.

From second on the grid, Linus was run wide at Turn 1 by Sting Ray Robb at the start, dropping temporarily to sixth but battling back to P5 a few corners later.

He then picked up a further two places as others ran into trouble, coming home in P3 just behind team-mate Benjamin Pedersen.

The race was won by Andretti Autosport’s Matthew Brabham following drama on the penultimate lap when erstwhile leader Christian Rasmussen retired.
