🗣 'It’s a killer. It does suck, it’s a top five at the end, which is nice points, but at the moment I couldn’t care less about it'😱 IndyCar star Colton Herta was all fired up with fifth place after leading 33 laps at Road America 👇
“It was unclear to me, like, how the race was going to play out at that point,” said Herta of the decision to pit with 15 laps remaining. “It was hard to say what was going to happen on fuel numbers. I knew there was about 15 laps to go and that’s usually a pretty reasonable fuel number. But it ended up being quite a bit more.
“We still got a fifth out of it which is nice, not what we want though, so for that reason it’s pretty frustrating. “Honestly, the first couple of laps he did on the blacks [on the final stint] were very fast,” said Palou. “Once my tires were up to temperature, I could see he was struggling and he had to save more fuel as he pittled a lap earlier.
Of his own weekend, which included a massive accident in second practice, Palou said he was proud of his team as he extended his championship lead to 74 points.
