The winners and losers of IndyCar 2021 so far

At the halfway point in the 2021 IndyCar Series season, we've had seven winners in eight races, spread between five teams – none of them Team Penske. In this unusual season, even by IndyCar standards, who’s excelling and who’s dragging their heels?

Patricio O'Ward leads the IndyCar points standings after becoming the first double winner of the season with a late charge to victory on the streets of Detroit last weekend.

The Arrow McLaren SP driver is one of four first drivers who have made their first trips to victory lane this year - Chip Ganassi Racing twins Alex Palou (at Barber) and Marcus Ericsson (at Detroit) and Ed Carpenter Racing's Rinus VeeKay (the Indianapolis Grand Prix) also taking their maiden spoils - while Helio Castroneves' record-equalling fourth Indianapolis 500 victory on his only appearance of the season to date with Meyer Shank Racing came four years after his previous series win at Iowa in 2017.
