Indy qualifying a wash

INDIANAPOLIS -- Rain on Sunday washed away the second of three days of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 and increased the pressure on drivers hoping to fill the remaining nine positions in the 33-car field.

Twenty-four cars qualified on Saturday. Thanks to the first complete rainout of an Indy qualifying day in 12 years, the remaining contenders will have to wait until next Sunday to fill the field for the May 26 race.

Once the field is full, faster qualifiers can knock the slowest cars out of the lineup until the end of the final session, meaning more than nine still have at least a chance to race here.

Pole-winner Bruno Junqueira's four-lap qualifying run averaged 231.342 mph and the slowest of the Saturday's qualifiers, Billy Boat, ran a 226.589. It is expected to take four laps at close to Boat's speed to make the race.

The 2 1/2-mile oval will remained closed today and Tuesday, with practice scheduled Wednesday through Saturday.

Most of the non-qualified drivers took the rainout philosophically.

"What we'll do is practice on Wednesday and Thursday and pretend like we're qualified and work on our race setup," said two-time Indy winner Arie Luyendyk. "Come Saturday, we'll get ready to qualify."

Austrian Grand Prix

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Michael Schumacher won the Austrian Grand Prix when Ferrari teammate Rubens Barrichello let him pass just before the checkered flag.

Barrichello, who had led from the start, received orders from his team to let Schumacher win.

"It was probably the wrong decision to do it this way, I am not very happy," said Schumacher, who is trying to win a record-tying fifth Formula One title.

Juan Pablo Montoya finished third.
