Mike Conway sets the pace in St Petersburg warm-up

Mike Conway has gone quickest in the final warm-up session ahead of today's IndyCar season-opener at St Petersburg

On a track drying from overnight rain, the AJ Foyt driver produced a best time of 1m03.2891 to put himself just a few hundredths clear of Rahal Letterman Lanigan's Takuma Sato, who'd held the top spot earlier in the session.

The tricky conditions prompted a cautious approach throughout the field, which was reflected in the times - of the top six qualifiers, only Ryan Hunter-Reay figured anywhere near the top of the timesheets, while polesitter Will Power finished up 20th.
