INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Munoz's initiation to Indianapolis went relatively smoothly.

Conor Daly's first week on the 2.5-mile oval was a little rougher.

Either way, the two 21-year-olds will find themselves at the same place Sunday, starting their engines for the biggest race in the IndyCar Series.

"It doesn't really matter where you qualify, it's still cool to be here," Daly said Tuesday before the annual rookie luncheon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

MONACO (AP) — The Monaco Grand Prix should be less about tire degradation and more about pole position, as Formula One returns for its showcase race on a street circuit that is notoriously difficult to overtake on.

That will be good news for Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, but less so for Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen.

Vettel, the three-time defending Formula One champion tops the championship standings by four points from Raikkonen, who closed the gap by finishing second at the Spanish GP with Vettel placing fourth.
