Jack Harvey's crash wasn't as dramatic as the others. He hit a bit of debris that spun off Conor Daly's car and that sent him spinning into the trackside turf.

We're not even halfway through the race and four drivers are out. They are Conor Daly, Jack Harvey, Scott Dixon and Jay Howard.
A disappointing end for Lincolnshire-born Harvey on his debut.

Another crash! This time Conor Daly sideswipes the wall at Turn 3 but fortunately manages to avoid bouncing back into the path of the cars and instead slides along the barrier before coming to a stop. Car's wrecked but Daly appears to be go.

Tony Kanaan has dropped down to seventh after one of his pit crew struggles to connect the fuel hose.
We're still under caution, with Fernando Alonso leading.
How good does it feel to say that?
'Just hold on'published at 18:33 British Summer Time 28 May 2017
Scott Dixon, who has been confirmed fit after that incredible crash has been speaking to the media: "I am fine - just a little beaten up there. I am just bummed for the team.
"It was definitely a wild ride. We ower a big thanks to the safety standards we have now.
"It's tough. I was hoping Jay would stay against the wall but I had picked the direction and I was unlucky.
"You just hold on. You have to believe in the safety we have now. "

Scott Dixon describes being involved in that crash as "a wild ride".
I think Scott and I have very different ideas of what a wild ride is. A rollercoaster is a wild ride for me, getting slung up into air and your car getting smashed around you isa bit more than that...
