Veckans händelse, eller möjligen västgötaklimax, var fredsuppgörelsen mellan USA och Iran som visade sig vara ännu ett vapenstillestånd. Men nu är i alla fall Hormuzsundet öppet. Konsekvenserna kommer dock bestå, något som bland annat veckans vinstvarning från BMW indikerade. I övrigt noterade vi att veckans mest väntade var att Riksbanken lämnar styrräntan oförändrad. Börje Ekholm valde att kliva av som vd för Ericsson och det är bara att lyfta på hatten och tacka för ett bra jobb. Aktiepodden lyfter fram några sköna Ekholmcitat som är lika aktuella idag som de var för det dryga decennium sedan de uttalades. Veckans case är tillika veckans kapitalmarknadsdagar där såväl Elekta som Securitas möttes med rätt njugga kursreaktioner. Podden ser att åtminstone det ena bolaget fick lite väl trist reaktion.

Marcus Ericsson came from the Formula One world to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and won the biggest race in the world in 2022 – the Indy 500. He spent a good portion of his career with Chip Ganassi Racing but left for Andretti Global a couple of years ago. Those two years were quite rough for Ericsson as success was hard to come by. However, this year, he earned his first career pole at the Arlington Grand Prix and led most of the laps at Saint Louis before ultimately finishing second. We caught up with Ericsson at the “media bullpen” at the 2026 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach where it was tough to get a word in edgewise. Your host of this podcast, Larry Mason, decided to go a different route than normal and instead of asking more detailed questions, do some rapid-fire ones instead. This is the first of this kind of interview that we'll be highlighting this year. Ericsson is a true gentleman of the sport yet fast and humble. Enjoy!NOTE: Ericsson had a race weekend to forget in Long Beach after he failed to finish due to a mechanical problem.
I det här avsnittet möter vi Jenny Lindblad, pitchcoach med bakgrund från Ericsson, där hon tränat allt från entreprenörer och säljteam till ledare, investerare och internationella VIP-kunder i hur man får fram sitt budskap.Samtalet handlar om varför pitch inte bara är något som sker på en scen eller framför investerare — utan något vi gör hela tiden: i möten, i sälj, i ledarskap, i vardagen och när vi vill få andra att förstå, känna och agera.Jenny delar med sig av konkreta insikter om hur man bygger förtroende, skapar en tydlig struktur, använder storytelling, förbereder sig på rätt sätt och undviker de vanligaste misstagen i presentationer och pitchar. Vi pratar också om AI:s roll i framtidens kommunikation — och varför det mänskliga, personliga och äkta blir ännu viktigare när allt fler texter och pitchar låter generiska.Sammanfattningen av boken "Homo Stupido" som AI-pitch: https://app.precisionlink.ai/play/precisionlink/homo-stupido-robert-podcast-book-brief-with-notes00:00:00 Varför du pitchar hela tiden – även när du inte tänker på det00:00:54 Jenny Lindblad: från Ericsson till pitchcoach00:04:29 5 000 presentationer på 5 år – lärdomarna från VIP-kunder00:08:00 Att starta eget och hitta rätt typ av uppdrag00:12:17 Pitch, sälj och kommunikation i en tuffare marknad00:17:38 Tillit i pitch: logik, autenticitet och empati00:20:10 Förberedelse: hemligheten bakom spontanitet på scen00:23:18 Varför du ska skriva manus – men inte låta inövad00:28:00 Så bygger du en stark pitchstruktur00:29:07 Börja aldrig med “Hej, jag heter...” – kraften i storytelling00:31:00 Första dejten-principen: hur mycket ska du berätta?00:34:00 TED Talks, scenen och varför en pitch inte ska sälja för hårt00:37:00 Det korta formatet: varför 5–7 minuter ofta räcker00:40:00 Slides, pitchdeck och misstaget med för mycket text00:43:00 En siffra, ett ord och en bild – Jennys slide-utmaning00:45:46 Webinar, säljpitch och skillnaden mellan Sverige och USA00:49:00 Svensk trovärdighet vs amerikansk FOMO i pitchar00:50:21 Är man pitchcoach bara för att man sett 7 000 pitchar?00:55:00 Investerarpitch: varför kaxighet inte alltid fungerar00:56:46 AI och pitch: hur verktygen förändrar spelplanen00:58:00 Problemet med AI-skrivna pitchar: när orden inte känns äkta01:00:14 Grundare, forskare och vad investerare egentligen tittar på01:03:58 Vanligaste pitchmisstaget: att inte förbereda sig01:06:00 Scen, kläder och målgrupp – detaljerna som gör skillnad01:09:00 Nervositet: publiken är inte där för att döma dig01:11:38 Kladdkakan: en enkel berättelse om att flytta fokus från sig själv01:15:06 Barn, presentationer och varför vi borde träna pitch tidigt01:20:00 Vad är egentligen en bra pitch?01:21:00 Feedback: när ska du lyssna och när ska du stå fast?01:23:17 AI, mänsklighet och varför det personliga fortfarande vinner01:27:00 Automatiserade AI-pitchar, avatarer och framtidens kommunikation01:30:22 Att klona en pitchcoach – möjlighet eller risk?01:32:21 Avslutning med Jenny Lindblad
What does it take for an immigrant inventor to change the course of history? In this episode, we explore the remarkable life of John Ericsson, the Swedish engineer who arrived in America virtually unknown and became one of the nation's most celebrated innovators. Best remembered as the designer of the revolutionary ironclad USS Monitor, Ericsson helped transform naval warfare during the American Civil War and played a pivotal role in one of history's most famous naval battles. But Ericsson's story extends far beyond the Monitor. From surveying Sweden's Göta Canal as a teenager to building locomotives in England, pioneering the screw propeller, surviving professional setbacks, and battling skeptics throughout his career, Ericsson was a brilliant, stubborn, and relentless inventor whose ideas were often years ahead of their time. Combining personal travel experiences, historical research, and interviews with experts at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, and walking the deck of a full-scale replica of the USS Monitor, this episode uncovers the fascinating life, achievements, and enduring legacy of the man whose inventions changed the world.

In 2026, 40 new submarine cables go live. Most won't land in Europe. Europe is losing the sea cable race, and most people haven't noticed yet.In this second part of our sea cables conversation, host Peter Ernst sits down with Ernst Noorman, the Netherlands' Cyber Ambassador-at-Large and a member of the ITU Advisory Body on Submarine Cable Resilience, to move from the “how” of sea cables to the “why it matters.”We compare two places that were once called the two hardest spots in the world to build digital infrastructure, Amsterdam and Singapore, and unpack how Singapore solved its crunch with 32 cable landings, five years of zero cable faults, and a green-energy-first tender process, while the Netherlands risks resting on a 30-year-old head start.Along the way: the difference between sovereignty and autonomy, why “always the cheapest option” no longer works, the EU Cyber Resilience Act and security by design, what NIS2 means for boards and CEOs personally, and why Europe needs to stop being modest about Airbus-sized wins.Chapters00:00 — 40 new cables, most skip Europe00:30 — Meet Ernst Noorman & the ITU advisory body02:00 — The sea cable map is being redrawn04:08 — Why the Netherlands risks losing its head start06:26 — How Singapore solved it: 32 landings, zero faults08:09 — Tax cuts for digital, would Europe ever?08:59 — Sovereignty vs autonomy: it's about choice15:02 — You can't own the whole stack (ASML, Nokia, Ericsson)15:53 — Why “always the cheapest” stops working17:47 — The Cyber Resilience Act & security by design18:51 — The water-from-the-tap analogy19:51 — What boards and CEOs must actually ask25:30 — Back to Singapore: government-led, by design29:39 — The good news: Europe's real strengths36:15 — What needs to happen in the next 3–5 yearsThreat Talks is a podcast by ON2IT and AMS-IX.

This week on Catalyst, Tammy is joined by Abhijit Sunil, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, where he leads flagship research programs on IT sustainability, sustainability management, and climate risk. Abhijit traces his remarkable journey from designing robotics labs at IIT Bombay to consulting at Ericsson and McKinsey, before landing at Forrester where a flood of client questions about data center efficiency set him on the path to sustainability research. He shares how volunteering as a teacher in Mumbai's slums profoundly shaped his worldview—giving him a lens for seeing optimization and sustainability as deeply human issues, not just technical ones. Tammy and Abhijit also dig into the double-edged nature of AI, from its staggering energy demands to its extraordinary potential to democratize access, and why the answer to almost every big question in sustainability lives somewhere in the Goldilocks zone between extremes.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATA.Links: Abhijit Sunil Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Peter Carlsson is Co-founder and former CEO of Northvolt, the European battery manufacturing company that raised more than $13 billion to build a homegrown battery supply chain for Europe, before filing for bankruptcy at the end of 2024. Before Northvolt, Carlsson spent more than a decade at Ericsson building global supply chains and later served as VP of Supply Chain at Tesla during the launch of the Model S. In this live episode of Inevitable from the AENU Summit in Berlin, Carlsson reflects on the rise and fall of Northvolt, the realities of competing with China's electro-industrial stack, and what Europe still gets right in manufacturing and innovation. Peter breaks down why batteries became strategically essential to Europe, what operational challenges slowed Northvolt's scale-up, and how changing EV markets, policy shifts, and financing pressures compounded those problems. Carlsson also mentions his new ventures: Aris Machina, an agentic operating system for manufacturing and Sonder Labs, a sodium-ion battery company focused on building chemistry and supply chains less dependent on China. He talks about AI-driven manufacturing, industrial automation, battery geopolitics, and where Europe can still compete in the next generation of energy and hardware systems.

What if faster coding is actually slowing your software delivery down? Most teams are pouring AI into the coding phase, but the real bottleneck is everywhere else.In this episode, Andrew Haschka, Field CTO at GitLab for Asia Pacific and Japan, explains why most AI strategies in software engineering are failing and what it takes to fix them. He introduces the AI paradox: teams invest heavily in AI-assisted coding, yet coding accounts for less than 20% of the software delivery lifecycle, leaving the biggest bottlenecks untouched.Andrew makes the case for intelligent orchestration — moving from isolated AI interactions to governed, end-to-end agentic flows that span planning, coding, testing, security, compliance, and release. He shares how a unified system of record forms the foundation for high-quality AI outcomes, and why fragmented tools and siloed context actively limit what AI can deliver. Drawing on real customer examples — including Ericsson's 50% faster deployments and 130,000 hours saved in six months — he shows what a holistic approach actually looks like in practice.The conversation also covers how tech leads, developers, and junior engineers need to evolve their skills in a world where AI handles routine implementation. Andrew closes with a compelling argument: in the agentic era, governance isn't just a compliance burden, it's the primary source of competitive advantage.Timestamps:(02:30) What Are the Key Responsibilities of a Field CTO at GitLab?(03:26) Why Should Organizations Govern AI Strategy Rather Than Chase the Latest Features?(06:41) Why Is an End-to-End Agentic Flow More Valuable Than Individual AI Tools?(09:39) What Is the AI Paradox and How Does Intelligent Orchestration Solve It?(14:47) How Does Shifting Focus to Requirements Quality Transform Software Delivery Outcomes?(18:19) How Has GitLab Evolved Beyond CI/CD Into a Full End-to-End Delivery Platform?(20:20) What Should Software Teams Prioritize Beyond Coding in the AI Era?(24:14) How Do Organizational Silos Create a Capability Threshold for AI Adoption?(27:49) What Practical Strategies Can Organizations Use to Break Down Internal Silos?(30:58) How Did Ericsson Achieve 50% Faster Deployments and Save 130,000 Hours With GitLab?(33:07) How Should Software Developers Evolve in the Age of AI Agents?(36:26) How Is the Tech Lead Role Evolving in a Hybrid Human-AI Team?(39:22) How Can Junior Developers Keep Up With the Rapid Shift in Industry Expectations?(42:40) Why Do 79% of Singapore DevSecOps Practitioners Believe AI Will Create More Jobs?(45:27) Why Are Companies Reducing Staff Despite the Growing Demand for Software?(48:34) What Are the Most Common Pitfalls When Implementing Agentic Workflows?(52:29) What Practical Steps Should Engineering Leaders Take to Govern AI Responsibly?(55:13) Why Should Engineering Leaders Build an AI Strategy Before Choosing Technology?(57:15) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Andrew Haschka's BioAndrew Haschka serves as Field CTO for Asia Pacific & Japan at GitLab, where he acts as a trusted strategic advisor to enterprise customers and partners navigating complex technology transformation.

“These are purpose-built devices,” says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. “They're UL listed, certified, tested, and designed specifically for this business.” In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, speaks with Jacoby about the hardware that makes modern POTS replacement possible. Jacoby showcases two TELCLOUD devices: the POTScast 8 LTE PC228 LTE, which supports eight analog lines, and the POTScast 2 LTE PC222 LTE, which supports two. Both are designed to support legacy and life-safety systems such as elevators, fire alarms, security systems, fax lines, SCADA applications, modems, and emergency phones as copper lines are phased out. The POTScast platform combines analog support with modern LTE and WAN connectivity, including broadband, Wi-Fi as WAN, satellite, and cellular. Each device includes 24-hour battery backup, helping ensure that critical communications continue even when building power fails. Jacoby also explains TELCLOUD's modular design. Because cellular signal is often weak inside telecom rooms, TELCLOUD supports Power over Ethernet, allowing routers from partners such as Ericsson, Peplink, Digi, InHand, ATEL, and Seego to be placed up to 250 feet away for better reception. The episode closes with the Shots segment, featuring Herencia Historico Grand Reserve Extra Añejo, a five-year-aged, small-batch tequila from Jalisco presented in a distinctive handcrafted bottle.

The lads hobble back into the studio this week to chat to special guest Eoin Coughlan of IBM. Helped along by the medicinal effects of an excellent Irish beverage, they start by exploring what IBM's interests are in the telecoms industry and in AI. IBM is involved in the ‘plumbing' for both, as it is many other industries, so they have a deep dive into the practical implementations of AI. They eventually move on to other news, including Ericsson's latest quarterly earnings announcement and the acquisition of satellite company Globalstar by Amazon.
Anshel Sag and Mike Dano open with discussion of watching a recent capsule splashdown and related footage, plus a personal connection to rocket-engine work. They then cover Amazon's roughly $11B agreement to acquire Globalstar, maintaining Apple's iPhone satellite emergency texting while planning an Amazon LEO direct-to-device service for mobile operators in 2028, with open questions around Apple's planned constellation expansion, integration with other Amazon services, and pricing. Next, they discuss Ericsson's Q1 sales decline and weaker North America outlook amid a broader 5G equipment spending trough before 6G.

En Capital Intereconomía, la jornada arranca con señales mixtas en los mercados globales. Asia corrige pese a los máximos en Wall Street, aunque mantiene un balance semanal positivo, mientras que Europa anticipa caídas suaves tras unos resultados que no convencen, como en el caso de Ericsson. En el primer análisis de la mañana, Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, destaca el buen tono de la bolsa estadounidense, con el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq encadenando nuevos récords por segundo día consecutivo. Sin embargo, advierte de movimientos más selectivos en el mercado, con caídas destacadas como la de Netflix tras decepcionar con sus previsiones, o el retroceso de TSMC pese a presentar fuertes beneficios, lo que refleja la elevada exigencia de los inversores. Tras el repaso a la prensa económica, la entrevista con María Canal, portavoz de la Comisión Europea en España, se centra en la respuesta de Bruselas ante el shock energético derivado del conflicto con Irán. Además, aborda el desarrollo de una nueva aplicación digital para verificar la edad de los usuarios en plataformas online, una iniciativa que busca reforzar la protección digital en la Unión Europea.

A company can vanish from your pocket and still show up in court and that is not a metaphor. We take a hard look at the afterlife of innovation and the real business question behind it: can intellectual property outlive the company that created it, and if so, what legal structures make that possible?We trace six vivid case studies that turn “failed products” into ongoing value. BlackBerry shows how patent monetization and portfolio restructuring can create immediate liquidity while keeping a long royalty tail and upside participation. Nokia shows what happens when IP moves from consumer devices into network infrastructure, where standards essential patents and FRAND commitments can produce durable, recurring IP licensing revenue. Ericsson takes the same idea and makes it operational, using deals that shift ownership to specialist entities while retaining tiered revenue shares, aligning incentives and keeping the program disciplined.Then the tone gets sharper: Nortel reveals how bankruptcy restructuring can turn patents into the centerpiece of an estate, driving auctions and creditor recovery. Kodak demonstrates how timing, litigation risk, title clarity, and negotiation pressure can reshape patent portfolio valuation, even when the underlying innovation is strong. Technicolor closes the loop with a deal engineered like a financial instrument: cash up front, future revenue participation, and a license back to keep operating.If your business changed tomorrow, would your intellectual property still be creating value?

Send us Fan MailUn producto puede desaparecer de tu bolsillo y todavía aparecer en un tribunal. Con esa idea arrancamos una conversación sobre propiedad intelectual que va más allá de la nostalgia tecnológica: cuando el mercado se mueve, una empresa pivota o entra en quiebra, las patentes y las licencias pueden seguir trabajando y generando dinero si están bien diseñadas.Nos apoyamos en seis casos que mucha gente reconoce, BlackBerry, Nokia, Ericsson, Nortel, Kodak y Technicolor, para explicar mecanismos reales de monetización de patentes y supervivencia de activos intangibles. Hablamos de reestructurar portafolios, transferir patentes no esenciales, negociar pagos iniciales con colas largas de regalías, usar escalones y topes para repartir el upside, y proteger el valor con acuerdos como standstill o licencias de regreso. También entramos en el mundo de las patentes esenciales para estándares en telecom, donde la estabilidad de ingresos viene acompañada de obligaciones FRAND que limitan la agresividad del enforcement.Si alguna vez te has preguntado cómo se ve la “vida después de la innovación”, aquí lo ponemos claro: la propiedad intelectual no sobrevive por accidente; sobrevive por estructura, timing, claridad de titularidad y estrategia.

This week, hosts of N2K CyberWire Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner alongside Joe Carrigan are discussing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up on aggravated identity theft and how it ties to crimes like wire fraud, along with a quick look at shared mailboxes and why sharing login credentials can create security risks. Joe's got the story of a vishing attack on an Ericsson vendor that exposed sensitive data of over 15,000 people, highlighting the risks of third-party security gaps. Dave's story is on Meta removing millions of scam ads and accounts while facing scrutiny over whether it profits from fraudulent advertising, highlighting the growing scale of social media-driven scams and pressure from lawmakers to crack down. Maria has the story on how scammers are using AI to impersonate government officials through deepfakes, fake websites, and voice cloning, making fraud more convincing and harder to detect while stealing money and personal information. Our Catch of the Day comes from Reddit where a user has an intriguing conversation with Elon Musk, where he professes his love in a very record amount of time.

Think 5G is about faster phones? That's what telecom companies want consumers to believe. The truth is far more interesting. In this episode, Elena Fersman (VP and Head of AI Innovation at Ericsson) reveals what 5G networks are really built for: industries, not consumers. Through network slicing, edge computing, and cognitive systems, 5G creates the infrastructure that makes AI applications possible at scale—from remote surgery where milliseconds matter, to AR/VR without wearing a backpack of GPUs, to factory floors with autonomous heavy machinery. Elena also shares surprising stories: how establishing a simple communication link led to 20% fuel savings for a shipping company, why autonomous networks are safer than human operators (the elevator operator analogy is perfect), and why Ericsson's trustworthy AI research has been running for 15 years. If you're an IT leader trying to understand where networks and AI intersect, or you're struggling with AI deployment and don't know where to start, this conversation cuts through the hype with practical frameworks and real-world examples from someone who's been in the trenches for two decades.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… CONGRATULATIONS TO KIMI FOR POLE AND THE WIN! MERCEDES CLEARLY AHEAD OF THE PACK! WITH FERRARI RIGHT BEHIND FERNANDO SEES THE END OF RACING WITH DRIVING SLOW IN THE CORNERS TO HARVEST KILOWATTS… LAWRENCE STROLL CLOSE TO THE BRAKING POINT COULD SELL ASTON MARTIN TO BYD! UNLIKE MAX…LCH LOVES THE NEW CARS! AND…. THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: ARVID LINBLAD AND UGO UGOCHUKWU….ENJOY! Kimi Antonelli became the second youngest F1 winner of all time, beating Mercedes team-mate George Russell into second place in Shanghai, while Lewis Hamilton claimed his first ever podium for Ferrari. But it was another chaotic, controversial grand prix under these new 2026 regulations. Neither McLaren made it to the grid, world champion Lando Norris and team-mate Oscar Piastri both suffering from unspecified technical gremlins. After his crash on the formation lap in Melbourne last weekend, Piastri becomes the first driver since team founder Bruce McLaren back in 1969 to fail to start successive races. But they were hardly alone. Williams' Alex Albon and Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto also failed to start, while Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen was one of three more drivers who failed to finish. Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso had to retire due to excessive vibrations from his power unit – the same vibrations he was worried might lead to “permanent nerve damage” in Australia. The controversial new 50–50 hybrid power units for this season, combined with active aerodynamics, have completely split fans and drivers. Some are enjoying the lack of reliability and hugely increased overtaking, with drivers able to deploy “boost” and “overtake” modes. Others, notably four-time champion Max Verstappen, decry the action as “artificial”, comparing this new era to computer games such as Mario Kart. You certainly cannot accuse these new rules of failing to produce action. China, the second race of the season, was meant to herald a return to something more “normal” after an extraordinary120 overtakes at the season opener in Australia last weekend. But it was just the same. A wild start, in which the fast-starting Ferraris surged to the front from the second row. A wacky first stint, in which the Ferraris and Mercedes battled for supremacy. And then – after a safety car came out on lap 10 when Aston Martin's Lance Stroll retired – Mercedes gradually pulling clear. Antonelli, 19, eventually won by 5.5sec ahead of Russell to become the first Italian winner of a Formula One race for 20 years, since Giancarlo Fisichella at Sepang in 2006, and the second youngest grand prix winner of all time behind Verstappen, while Hamilton was another 19.7sec back, having emerged victorious from a furious tussle with team-mate Charles Leclerc in which they repeatedly swapped positions and went wheel to wheel. Leclerc said it was “fun” while Hamilton called it “one of most enjoyable races” he has ever had. Fans will be split on that sentiment. Briton Oliver Bearman was an impressive fifth for Haas, just shy of his best ever finish, fourth place in Mexico last year. Kimi Antonelli... What an incredible day! This win is a fulfilment of one of the dreams I've had ever since I first drove a go-kart. I want to say thank you to my amazing family and the incredible team at both Lauda Drive and Morgan Drive. I couldn't have done this without any of them, and it means so much to take my first victory in F1. It was a very special moment for all of us. The race itself wasn't easy. I lost a position at the start and had to fight back to get ahead. We then had to manage the Safety Car restart which wasn't easy on the Hard compound. It was difficult to get the tyres working but fortunately we were able to before we were under threat from those behind. This has been a great way to close the first double-header of the season but there is lots of work ahead. We aren't taking anything for granted and will make sure we work hard ahead of Japan and arrive in Suzuka in the strongest position we can. George Russell... Firstly, huge congratulations to Kimi on his first victory in F1. He drove a great race, and it was brilliant to be up there on the podium with him. I am sure it is a moment he will never forget and to do it with the team scoring a 1-2 is fantastic. My own race was not straightforward. I lost positions both at the start and then at the Safety Car restart as we struggled to switch the Hard tyres on. The Ferraris were quick, particularly in the early stages, and we had to get back past them twice. They were fast in all the right places and that made our job a lot more difficult. Happily, we were able to do it each time, but it cost us the chance to fight for the win. It has been a great way to start the season, and we are definitely the team to beat at the moment. We have been put under a lot of pressure at these first two races, and we need to keep pushing hard. The package is strong though so I'm looking forward to heading to the next race in Japan. Kirkwood Outduels Champ Palou To Win Arlington, Take Series Lead ARLINGTON, Texas (Sunday, March 15, 2026) – It's been a long time since a rival driver made Alex Palou blink, but Kyle Kirkwood achieved that rare feat to win the inaugural Java House Grand Prix at Arlington on Sunday. Kirkwood took the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship lead and earned his first victory of the season despite a sluggish final pit stop by his Andretti Global crew, driving his No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda to victory under caution over the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of four-time series champion Palou, who has won the title the last three seasons. SEE: Race Results “That was so incredible,” Kirkwood said. “Man, did we have some pace. This JM Bullion Honda, Andretti, all these guys right here, they gave me the tools today. It's because of this race car we won today, because of teamwork. “One-three-four (finish) for Andretti; we're just so stacked here. I'm so stoked.” Andretti Global placed three drivers into the top four at the finish of the 70-lap street-circuit race around AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. Will Power placed third in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda for his first podium finish at his new team after 16 full-time seasons at Team Penske. Marcus Ericsson, who earned his first career pole Saturday, finished fourth in the No. 28 InPwr Honda. Pato O'Ward rounded out the top five finishers in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the highest-placing Chevrolet-powered driver on the 14-turn, 2.73-mile circuit. “This Andretti Honda camp is fricking strong on street courses,” O'Ward said. “We've got a lot of work to do if we want to start winning races on outright pace against them.” Pure pace helped Kirkwood, who started seventh and overcome a tepid final pit stop to overhaul Palou down the stretch. Palou and Kirkwood were running first and second, respectively, when both made their final stops on the preferred three-stop strategy on Lap 49. The Chip Ganassi Racing crew completed Palou's stop in 7.7 seconds, while Kirkwood's service took 9.5 seconds due to a slow change of the right rear wheel. When both drivers returned to full steam on their out lap, Palou led Kirkwood by 2.2 seconds. But Kirkwood used the speed that helped him lead the pre-qualifying practice Saturday, pulling to within .323 of a second of Palou at the start of Lap 55, with both drivers on the more durable Firestone Firehawk tires in a straight-up duel for the win. Kirkwood didn't waste any time flexing muscle, diving under Palou from a long distance in Turn 13 near the end of Lap 55 and making the daring pass stick for the lead. “He did an awesome pass; hats off to him,” Palou said. “It was super clean, and it was pretty impressive. We'll get them in a couple weeks.” Kirkwood then started to pull away, building a five-second lead by Lap 66. Then that margin evaporated when ECR driver Christian Rasmussen nosed his No. 21 Java House Chevrolet into the tire barrier at pit exit on Lap 68, triggering the first full-course yellow of the race. That bunched the field for a one-lap dash to the checkered flag. Kirkwood pulled away on the restart and was able to exhale early in the final lap when the second and final full-course yellow flew due to a collision between the No. 18 BMax Honda of Dale Coyne Racing's Romain Grosjean and the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet of Nolan Siegel deep in the field. “Not today,” Palou said when asked if he thought he could have caught Kirkwood on the final lap. “I was pushing really hard on the first and second stint, and I could see that the 27 (Kirkwood) and the 12 (Power) were a little bit faster than us. I was like, ‘Oh, man, it's going to be quite hard.'” Kirkwood then cruised around the circuit one last time under yellow to cheers from the capacity crowd at this event, a joint venture between Penske Entertainment, the Dallas Cowboys and REV Entertainment, the official events partner of the Texas Rangers. He leads the standings by 26 points over second-place Palou after three of 18 races. “It's only race number three, so I'm not looking at the championship,” Kirkwood said. “But it is nice to say it's the first time I've ever led the championship in the INDYCAR SERIES.” The taut nature of the race, with its varying strategies about how often to stop for tires, resulted in terrific parity up front. Kirkwood, Palou and Power each led 16 laps to tie for the race high, with Ericsson fourth with 15 laps led. Caio Collet was the top-finishing rookie, 12th in the No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet fielded by AJ Foyt Racing. Phoenix winner Josef Newgarden, who entered this event in the series lead, fell to third after finishing 15th in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet. After three consecutive race weekends to open the season, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES will get a short break before resuming with the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix powered by AmFirst on March 27-29 at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
Junaid Shaikh: Product Owner Anti-Patterns, From Team Owner to Product Owner, And The PO Who Got It Right Junaid opens with a line that cuts straight to the most common PO anti-pattern: "You are the product owner, not the team owner." When he sees a PO slipping into command-and-control mode, he asks them one question: "What is your role?" They say "Product Owner." He says: "Exactly. You own the product, not the team. If you were meant to own the team, we'd call you a project manager." The worst case he witnessed: a PO who was so possessive of "his" team that he required approval on everything — processes, tools, even holiday requests. In sprint planning, he would assign stories to individual team members ("Mr. X, you take this one"). He'd estimate the work himself, and when developers pushed back, he'd override them: "I was a developer, I know how long this takes." For approaching PO anti-patterns, Junaid has a deliberate style: he doesn't confront upfront. He observes, takes notes, and starts by solving a smaller impediment to demonstrate he's there to help. Once trust is built, he brings in coaching tools — first teaching the basics ("this is what the PO role is in Scrum"), then gradually coaching on specific anti-patterns observed in practice. He targets 10-15% improvement at a time. Six months later, you've already achieved 30-40% improvement. The best PO Junaid has worked with had four qualities: clear, concise communication; an open mindset willing to be coached; courage to say "no" when needed; and the discipline to define the "what" and leave the "how" to the team. This PO started with five sources of truth — Excel tabs, whiteboards, JIRA, and other tools. When Junaid pointed out that five sources of truth is the opposite of transparency (one of Scrum's three pillars), the PO asked for help. Junaid's response: "I can't do the push-ups for you." Together, they consolidated everything into one tool. The team was happier, and the PO managed the backlog much better. The key lesson: great product owners trust their team, communicate clearly, prioritize ruthlessly, and have the courage to say no. And they don't try to own the team.

Junaid Shaikh: How Scrum Masters Can Measure Their Own Impact, Practical Self-Assessment Metrics Junaid's favorite retrospective format? The vanilla: what went well, what could have gone better, what to do better next. He's tried many formats — the Three L's (liked, learned, lacked), the Three Little Pigs, the sailboat — but the core principle is always the same. His practical advice: stick with a consistent format so the team gets better at the process itself rather than constantly adjusting to new concepts. One addition he insists on for any format: an appreciation component. In the rush to analyze processes and outcomes, teams often skip acknowledging how another team member, PO, or Scrum Master helped during the sprint. That appreciation builds trust, respect, and openness that feeds into subsequent sprints. On defining success as a Scrum Master, Junaid starts with a Peter Drucker quote: "You cannot improve something you cannot measure." He proposes several practical self-assessment metrics: First, the Agile Team Maturity Index — a spider graph that shows where the team stands across multiple criteria, making gaps visible and actionable. Second, track retrospective action items. Create tiger teams for specific issues, run small iterative experiments, and measure in the next retrospective whether the trend is improving. Third, watch for shared sprint goals. Junaid once saw a team with nine sprint goals for a two-week sprint — those weren't goals, they were individual tasks. A real sprint goal should be something multiple team members work together to achieve. Fourth, self-organizing teams. If the team falls apart when the Scrum Master is absent for a sprint, there's a problem. Coach teams to self-organize, and their ability to function independently becomes a success metric. Fifth, communication patterns. Too many emails flying around can signal hidden conflicts or trust barriers. If communication happens through the right channels — dailies, direct interactions — you're likely in good shape. Sixth, Scrum event health. If events get canceled too frequently, the team may be reverting to traditional ways of working. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Junaid Shaikh: Managing Uncertainty As A Scrum Master, How Scrum's Rhythm Creates Stability In Unstable Times For this week's coaching conversation, Junaid brings a challenge that resonates well beyond any single team: dealing with uncertainty. He references the World Uncertainty Index report from February 2026, which showed the highest levels of global uncertainty ever recorded — surpassing both the COVID pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This uncertainty doesn't stay at the geopolitical level. It seeps into teams. People show up stressed, unsure about what the next month or three months will bring. As Scrum Masters, we need to be cognizant of where our team members are coming from. Vasco adds an important layer: uncertainty operates at multiple levels within organizations. A colleague you depend on might be out sick for two weeks. A supplier might not deliver on time. Every dependency is a source of uncertainty. The question becomes: what in our processes is designed to accept and adapt to that uncertainty? Junaid's answer is powerful in its simplicity: Scrum's rhythm. The sprint, the planning, the daily, the retrospective — these events at a defined cadence create internal predictability. "When you have a rhythm, when you have a known sequence of events in front of you, that takes away a lot of uncertainty." Vasco builds on this: Scrum creates a boundary — the sprint — that accepts uncertainty outside while reducing it inside. Internal versus external predictability. Inside the sprint, the team can fail in small ways without exposing every failure to the outside. Compare that with traditional project planning, where every task on the critical path has external visibility and impact. For practical tools, Junaid shares how he used the Eisenhower matrix with a team to convert uncertainty into actionable priorities. They listed all activities from recent sprints, plotted them on the matrix, and found they could delegate or deprioritize 20-25% of their work. That freed them to focus with certainty on the remaining 75%. Combined with timeboxing as an uncertainty management mechanism, teams can create pockets of predictability even in turbulent times.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine speaks with Becky Rohr, Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Investigations at Ericsson. Becky talks about how her career journey led her to join Ericsson during a monitorship to strengthen their investigations function. To do that, she focused on conducting fair, thorough, and efficient investigations, enhancing investigator training, and improving processes for collecting and reviewing digital evidence within a global organization. This led to her being named Chief Compliance Officer at Ericsson and to the benefits of integrating investigations and compliance. Not only did this lead to the continued evolution of their compliance function, but it also connected hotline reports, investigations, and remediation by using creative approaches to reinforcing ethics at Ericcson. Lisa and Becky also discuss how the Ericcson team has addressed workplace misconduct globally, sustaining compliance improvements after a monitorship ends, and the importance of leadership communication in maintaining a strong ethical culture. The conversation also touches on culture change, addressing workplace misconduct globally, and how organizations can sustain strong compliance programs even after regulatory oversight ends. Finally, Becky reflects on her decision to leave Ericsson and take a “power of the pause” moment before deciding on her next chapter—an approach that highlights the value of reflection and intentional career choices.

Junaid Shaikh: Why Teams Go Through The Motions of Agile Without Being Agile, And What To Do About It Junaid's book recommendation is The Culture Map by Erin Meyer. As a Scrum Master working at companies like Ericsson and ABB — organizations that are a "United Nations" of cultures — understanding cultural tendencies has been essential. But Junaid goes further: you can customize the Culture Map framework even within a team of people from the same country, using the parameters to map different personalities. It's about how you use the tool, not just where people come from. He also recommends Scrum Mastery: From Good to Great Servant Leadership by Geoff Watts for practical advice on the servant leadership role, and regularly visits Scrum Alliance and Scrum.org for real-world insights from the community. On the topic of teams that self-destruct, Junaid paints a picture that many listeners will recognize. He picked up a team's retrospective history and cumulative flow diagrams and found problems at every level: managers who declared "from tomorrow we're going agile" without understanding what that meant, then started comparing velocity across teams. Product owners who took PO training but reverted to command-and-control project management. A previous Scrum Master doing what Junaid calls "zombie Scrum" — implementing the framework mechanically without understanding its purpose. The pattern underneath it all: people enveloping their traditional mindset under an agile umbrella. The ceremonies happen, the daily standups run, but nobody is questioning why they're doing any of it. As Vasco observes, this zombie pattern isn't limited to Scrum — it happens with code reviews, architecture reviews, any process that gets adopted without critical thinking about its purpose. Junaid's insight: if you don't understand the basics with the right mindset, every event feels like overhead. Teams complain about "too many meetings" because they're running agile ceremonies on top of their old informal processes. "If you don't get out of your previous shell, you cannot get into a new shell." [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Junaid Shaikh: The Eager Scrum Master Trap, Why Proposing Solutions Too Early Can Backfire In this episode, Junaid shares a story from his early days as a Scrum Master when enthusiasm got ahead of experience. Fresh from a CSM certification and full of ideas, he walked into teams and started proposing solutions — "No, this is not how you should do it." It felt obvious. It wasn't. The wake-up call came when he proposed working agreements to a team that had been collaborating well for two years. The pushback was immediate: "Why do we need this?" He realized he was bringing a tool he'd seen elsewhere without first understanding whether the team actually had the problem that tool was meant to solve. This led to a key shift in his approach: stop assuming. Instead of going in with answers, Junaid started creating small tiger teams with the affected people, facilitating sessions where they owned the solution. The result? Much higher acceptance and genuine continuous improvement. These days, Junaid tests his ideas before bringing them to the full team. He connects with individual team members first — his "closer allies" — to validate whether his analysis matches reality. Only when a few people confirm "yes, this is a real problem" does he bring the proposal to the group. As Vasco puts it: not all tools are appropriate at all times for all people. The same working agreements that were wrong for one team at one moment might be exactly right for a different team, or the same team at a different moment.

Mientras la Fórmula 1 centra el foco en Melbourne, el automovilismo ya ha dejado un golpe sobre la mesa en Estados Unidos. El segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos cuenta como, en St. Petersburg, Alex Palou inauguró la temporada de IndyCar con una victoria de autoridad que confirma su estatus de referencia absoluta. Lo que hizo Palou. No partió desde la pole, gestionó el primer stint tras McLaughlin y Ericsson, ejecutó un overcut impecable y, una vez en cabeza, impuso un ritmo inalcanzable. Fue un recital estratégico y de consistencia que subraya la dimensión de un piloto que, desde España, no siempre recibe la atención proporcional a su talento. Y, mientras, en Melbourne… En paralelo, el paddock de Fórmula 1 ya se prepara para la primera prueba real. Las nuevas normas técnicas traerán una revolución profunda en los sistemas de frenado, íntimamente ligada al aumento de potencia del MGU-K, que pasará de 120 a 350 kW. Esta mayor capacidad de regeneración alterará el reparto de frenada: el eje trasero dependerá mucho más del sistema eléctrico, permitiendo redimensionar discos y pinzas, e incluso reducir hasta un 20 % el tamaño de ciertos componentes en algunos escenarios. Brembo anticipa un panorama de soluciones divergentes entre equipos. Los discos delanteros crecerán ligeramente en diámetro, mientras que los traseros ofrecerán más opciones de tamaño y grosor. La normativa permitirá mayor libertad en el diseño de pinzas (entre dos y ocho pistones) y exigirá que el sistema trasero pueda generar hasta 2500 Nm sin ayuda del motor eléctrico en determinadas condiciones. Desafíos: técnicos y estratégicos. El equilibrio entre frenado hidráulico y regenerativo será clave, especialmente cuando las baterías estén saturadas y no puedan absorber más energía. El desafío no será solo técnico, sino estratégico: elegir el tamaño y configuración adecuados sin penalizar el peso en un coche que reducirá su masa mínima en 76 kg. Algunos equipos podrían incluso reutilizar discos en varias carreras para ahorrar gramos críticos. La combinación de aerodinámica activa y nuevos neumáticos más estrechos añadirá otra variable a la ecuación. Sea como sea, la temporada de motor está ya a pleno rendimiento: con tres carreras disputadas en la Nascar, la IndyCar recién inaugurada (y de qué manera!) y con la Fórmula 1 a las puertas en Melbourne – amén de MotoGP, que se estrenó también el fin de semana pasado – ya no tendremos tiempo para aburrirnos… si las tensiones mundiales nos dejan.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… ASTON MARTIN ALREADY PONDERING... THE SEASON IS ALL BUT A WASH! WILL MERCEDES PASS A COMPRESSION TEST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RACE? FERRARI MUST KICK OFF THE SEASON WITH A WIN IN MELBOURNE. AND… FERNANDO COULD BE IN F1 FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: ADRIAN ZAUGH AND F1W LISTENER BURAQ SARTAG FROM TURKEY! Champ Palou Opens Season with Dominant March to St. Pete Win ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Alex Palou picked up right where he left off in 2025, opening the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with a dominant victory in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Palou won his third consecutive and fourth overall series championship last season by a whopping 196 points, an advantage of more than three races, and he and Chip Ganassi Racing showed the same swagger on a sun-splashed Sunday in Florida. SEE: Race Results Reigning event winner Palou, from Spain, cruised to his 20th career victory in just his 99th start, driving his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 12.4948-second victory over the No. 3 DEX Team Penske Chevrolet of NTT P1 Award winner Scott McLaughlin. “This team keeps on improving, keeps on making new changes, and they just keep on raising the bar,” Palou said. “It's pretty impressive. It's a long season in front of us, but what a great way to start the season.” Christian Lundgaard, who started 12th, rallied to complete the podium finishers in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Kyle Kirkwood dropped from second late in the 100-lap race to finish fourth in the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda fielded by Andretti Global. Pato O'Ward put two Arrow McLaren cars into the top five after finishing fifth in the team's No. 5 Chevrolet. This was the first race in which INDYCAR rules mandated the use of at least two sets of the softer Firestone Firehawk alternate tire with red sidewalls, throwing an additional strategic element into the racing mix. And, as usual, Palou and longtime strategist Barry Wanser made all the right calls. The decisive moment of the race came on Laps 36 and 37. Team Penske called leader McLaughlin to the pits at the end of Lap 35, with Marcus Ericsson assuming the lead from second in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda. Andretti Global summoned Ericsson to the pits at the end of Lap 36, with Palou taking the top spot. But instead of calling Palou to the pits on the next lap, Wanser and Palou decided to stay out until the end of Lap 38 on their original set of alternate tires in an “overcut” strategy. It worked. Palou blended back on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary street circuit in front of McLaughlin and Ericsson. Once the rest of the leaders cycled through their pit stops, Palou found himself out front by Lap 42. He would only surrender the top spot during pit stop cycles to finish the race, leading 59 of the 100 laps. There was a bit of suspense when Palou made his final pit stop at the end of Lap 67 with a 14-second lead on McLaughlin. Palou had used the required two sets of Firestone alternate tires in his first two stints and opted for the harder, but slower, Firestone primary tires for his final run to the finish. Kirkwood and McLaughlin made their final stops at the end of Laps 65 and 68, respectively, both taking the softer but faster Firestone Firehawk alternate tires. That tire choice offered a glimpse of hope that Palou could be reeled in after he took the lead on Lap 70, but Kirkwood never got closer than 5.5 seconds in his pursuit despite the more grippy tires. Palou, who started fourth, then pulled away at an astonishing rate over the closing laps to win by the largest margin in the 23 editions of this event. “Those Firestones were like everlasting,” Palou said. “They would just keep going. I had an amazing car today.” There was drama in the final 10 laps as McLaughlin and Lundgaard both took advantage of fresher tires to pass Kirkwood for the second and third positions on Lap 94. “Our Chevy was fast, but it's just a mixed bag on what tire you start on,” McLaughlin said. “Maybe we come back here again, and maybe you start on reds (alternate) and just get them out of the way. Overall, made the passes we needed to make at the right times, and I thought we maximized our day.” Dennis Hauger, who qualified an impressive third, was the top finisher among the three rookies in the race, 10th in the No. 19 Ault Block Chain Honda of Dale Coyne Racing. ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO UNVEILS LIVERY FOR 2026 F1 ACADEMY CAR AMRTC, Silverstone, 24 February 2026: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has officially revealed its F1 ACADEMY car livery, which will be driven by German talent Mathilda Paatz in her debut year of the all-female series. The sleek design features the signature Aston Martin racing green and mirrors the team's elegant AMR26 livery, proudly carrying the Aston Martin Aramco identity on the F1 ACADEMY grid. Mathilda, who represents Aston Martin Aramco as a member of its Driver Academy, drove the liveried F4-spec car operated by PREMA Racing during the first official F1 ACADEMY test, which took place at Shanghai International Circuit between 11-13 February. Mathilda Paatz, F1 ACADEMY and Aston Martin Aramco Academy Driver: “Seeing the Aston Martin Aramco livery on the car for the first time was really special - it looks incredible and instantly made me feel part of the team. Driving the car for the first time during pre-season testing in Shanghai, I learned a lot. It was something new for me to adapt to, and I'm working well with the team at PREMA to become more familiar with the car. There were challenging moments across those three days, but as a team, we're pushing hard in preparation for the first race in China. By day three, I was already becoming more comfortable on track, and so I'm keen to get racing next month. I'm not setting my expectations too high, but I'm feeling confident - my goal is to do my best and have a clean weekend that I can be proud of.” Mathilda Paatz Biography Mathilda, 17, from Cologne, Germany, joined the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy in November 2025, and was announced as the team's F1 ACADEMY representative for the 2026 season, competing with PREMA Racing. In addition to her full-season debut with Aston Martin Aramco in F1 ACADEMY this year, which gets underway at the Shanghai International Circuit on 13-15 March, Mathilda continues to compete in the Formula Winter Series and F4 CEZ Championship, showcasing her adaptability and dedication across categories. Mathilda brings an impressive racing background. She began karting in 2019 at age ten, swiftly showing promise with third place in the 2020 ADAC Kart Masters - Mini category. In 2022, she claimed victory in the ADAC Kart Masters - Ladies Cup and finished third overall in the standings. Stepping into single-seaters, she became the first female driver supported by the ADAC Motorsport Junior program in 2024 with ADAC Formel Junior Team in F4 France. She built further momentum in 2025, securing four wins in the E4 Championship - Trophy Woman and multiple class podiums in the competitive Italian F4 Championship.

This progression positions her as the second F4 CEZ graduate to enter F1 ACADEMY, highlighting her rise on the international stage. Palou Unveils 110th Indianapolis 500 Ticket INDIANAPOLIS (Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou unveiled the ticket for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Tuesday, Feb. 24 in Indianapolis.

Johnson Feasts on Home Cooking To Earn First Win at St. Pete ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Nikita Johnson earned his first INDY NXT by Firestone victory Sunday, winning his hometown Grand Prix of St. Petersburg after prevailing in a duel of talented teenagers. Johnson, from St. Petersburg, delivered his first victory in just his fourth career start in the INDYCAR development series. It also was the first INDY NXT victory for Cape Motorsports, which Johnson joined this offseason after a part-time foray last season in the series with HMD Motorsports. SEE: Race Results “I can't thank the boys from Cape Motorsports enough and everyone from ECR who has been helping us,” Johnson said. “It's a pretty amazing feeling to get my first win in INDY NXT and Cape's first win in INDY NXT. I can't wait to see all my friends and family.” Series rookie Johnson, 17, drove his No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR entry to victory by .6990 of a second over pole sitter Max Taylor, 18, in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global. Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk rounded out the podium finishers in his first INDY NXT start by placing third in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry, 5.055 seconds behind Johnson. Andretti Global took three of the top five spots. Seb Murray placed fourth in the No. 27 Prosperity machine, while Lochie Hughes rounded out the top five in the No. 26 car. Johnson wasted no time asserting his command of this race, scheduled for 45 laps but halted on time after 55 minutes. He started second and used a bold, sweeping move to the outside of Taylor in Turn 1 at the start to grab a lead he would never relinquish. “It was pretty straight up,” Johnson said. “I reviewed some video from previous years on YouTube, the INDY NXT channel. I knew I wanted to get up front quickly, and I did just that. I went into Turn 1 and knew what he (Taylor) was going to do before he did it and just went around the outside. After that, I kept it pretty simple, tried to keep a nice gap.” Caution periods ended up being Johnson's biggest foe besides Taylor. The race was slowed by four full-course yellows, but Johnson held off Taylor on each of the restarts. Perhaps Taylor's best chance came on a restart on Lap 20. He tried the same move Johnson used to gain the lead on Lap 1, but his attempt at a sweeping, outside pass was unsuccessful. “All the restarts were pretty difficult,” Johnson said. “He (Taylor) caught on at one point, and I had throw in a little curve ball and change it up.” Taylor maintained pressure on Johnson for the entire race, never trailing by more than a second and keeping his car usually within six- or seven-tenths of the leader. But Taylor also never got close enough after restarts to mount a serious challenge to the race lead. The two teens traded blows over the closing laps. Johnson turned his quickest lap of the race on Lap 38, but Taylor countered with the speediest lap overall on Lap 39. “Good race overall, good points,” Taylor said. “Showed a lot of pace but just messed up on the start. “The restarts were very difficult to get right. Just kept trying to apply the pressure, trying different things. Probably could have had an opportunity to pass him there, but you live and you learn.”
