Marco Andretti will compete for his father Michael's team
|
Marco Andretti, grandson of former Formula One world champion Mario, will race at this year's Indianapolis 500.
The 18-year-old needed to prove he was able to race safely at Indianapolis before being allowed to enter but he comfortably passed the rookie test.
He will race in May for the Andretti Green team run by his father Michael, a former F1 driver who is making a one-off return to the Indy 500.
"It was good to finally get some time in the car," said Marco.
"Everything was a bit of an unknown to me until I got into the car but now the questions are starting to be answered.
"It will take a little time but we made good progress."
