Series is down to 7 drivers who can still dream about an NTT IndyCar Series Championship in 2022.
You’ve heard the expression “R & D”? Well, for Alexander Rossi, Saturday’s Gallagher Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was a matter of “R & B.”
Not only did Saturday’s victory snap a 49-race winless streak for Rossi, it also was his eighth career IndyCar win and the second time he’s won at IMS, having captured the 2016 Indianapolis 500 as a rookie. Unfortunately for Rossi, Saturday’s win is ultimately a bit too little, too late for him when it comes to still having a chance at the IndyCar championship.
When he revealed a few weeks ago that he would be leaving moving to McLaren at the end of this season, Rossi said he still had some goals to accomplish with his current team, most notably to win a race or two.Goal achieved, but that doesn’t mean he still can’t add to that wins list in the remaining events, either.Rossi finished 3.5441 seconds ahead of runner-up Christian Lundgaard, with a 3-4-5 finish by Team Penske teammates Will Power, Scott McLaughlin and Josef Newgarden.
Another Andretti teammate, Romain Grosjean, had nothing but trouble Friday during practice and qualifying, as well as in Saturday’s race, ultimately finishing 16th. Among the plethora of problems Grosjean encountered: a defective throttle sensor Friday, brake issues, a power issue earlier in Saturday’s race, and he also stalled while exiting pit lane.and not lower. In his last nine starts, the Swiss driver has finished 16Is the driver he replaced, Ryan Hunter-Reay, still available? Just askin’.
“Definitely a rough start,” Power quipped. “I got pushed around on Turn 1, got pushed into Pato and spun him, and then Helio went for a big move and pushed me on the curve, but a great recovery man. You can never expect a normal day in IndyCar.”
