- Sato edges out Scott Dixon as race finishes under caution
- Alonso finishes 21st in his second Indianapolis appearance
Japanese driver Takuma Sato snatched his second Indianapolis 500 victory on Sunday, holding off Scott Dixon before winning under caution at an empty racetrack.
Sato denied five-time IndyCar champion Dixon after race officials declined to throw a red flag following a late crash by Spencer Pigot. Fernando Alonso, bidding to complete a “triple crown” having won the Monaco Grand Prix and Le Mans 24 hour race, could only finish in 21st place.
