Breaking news: Santiago Urrutia lost Ancap as sponsor, which equals to 40% of his budget. His international career is in serious danger.

The Uruguayan government would pay Urrutia's missing budget.

Ancap is a state petroleum company, involved in several major scandals.

Petrobras as well, still turned up to launder even more money with McLaren. On topic though, it's looking as Indy Lights are in dire straits. 9 or 10 cars confirmed for St Pete (still hope Celis turns up), no Carlin, Urrutia, Alberico on part time basis. Dan Andersen hopes Carlin may field two cars later in the season, Team Pelfrey to find second driver.
The part time deals in IndyCar hit IL really hard, Binder, Fittipaldi, Kaiser, Claman De Melo, King... they'd all form grid to watch in IL. |

Massive migrations from Indy Lights to IndyCar has happened before.
Promotions in lower level are less frequent. |

Urrutia finished 2nd and 1st at St Pete, and leads the championship with 55 points.

Next weekend, the Indy Lights and Pro Mazda will race at Barber.
Uruguayan motorsport journalist Mario Uberti, who announced F1 broadcasts in Canal 4 for three decades, will follow Santiago Urrutia at the racetrack. |

Ouch. In the Indy Lights race 2, Urrutia defended too hard and tangled with Herta. Anyway, Pato O'Ward had a poor weekend, so the championship fight is very tight.
Standings after Indianapolis: 1. MEX Pato O'Ward (Andretti), 145 2. USA Colton Herta (Andretti), 144 3. URU Santiago Urrutia (Belardi), 139 4. BRA Victor Franzoni (Juncos), 119 5. USA Ryan Norman (Andretti), 102 6. CAN Dalton Kellett (Andretti), 87 7. USA Aaron Telitz (Belardi), 98 8. USA Shelby Blackstock (Pelfrey), 42 9. USA Neil Alberico (Pelfrey), 31 10.

Herta and O'Ward are neck and neck, while Urrutia needs a miracle to get back in the fight.
Toronto will decide his fate, and I'm not talking about Indy Lights. |

Santi won three of the last four races at Mid-Ohio (2016-2017) and won at Gateway last year. That sets up for a potential of three wins, with Gateway being 1.5x the points. He's 40 points back, and if he sweeps M-O and Gateway with max points (32-32-47), he'd claw back a minimum of 23 points. He's be 17 points back heading to the doubleheader finale. He has work to do, but considering the history, it's definitely a possibility. |

I think the miracle he needs is to become as quick as O’Ward and Herta?

Urrutia has said that the team doesn't give him the right car setup. I think that car setup is a teamwork, and the driver must tell what he wants. Perhaps he isn't good at that.

That always sounds bad for the driver when they say the team didn't give them a good setup, makes me cringe and think they can't communicate what the car needs or is doing. Or can't drive around the problem, more of a natural talent and specific that car setup. A good driver should be able to say a little about the car, the great drivers can tell you what the car needs AND drive around the problem until it can be corrected
