Episode #439: 2023 IndyCar GP of Barber Review

May 11, 2023, 11:46 AM

Hey gang, sorry this came up a bit late, lot of juggling to get through, but we had to get this one out about IndyCar at Barber and the intense Romain Grosjean and Scott McLaughlin fight!

We genuinely thought that this was finally going to be the race that Grosjean put it altogether and take that elusive first IndyCar win... only for a failure of his Push-To-Pass system when he had 100 seconds of extra power still to use, cost him dearly. Running wide at the Spider's Web hairpin sealed his fate as Scott McLaughlin would take the win and get himself back in the title picture. Is that first win ever going to happen for Romain? And is he a big Month of May away from being a genuine title contender? We break it all down on M101 Episode 439!

We also start discussing Marshall Pruett's first big silly season update, with a huge amount of rumours centred around the 10 seat at Chip Ganassi Racing with Alex Palou heading to McLaren, the series worst kept secret. But it might not be a straight up replacement for Felix Rosenqvist? Could McLaren be going to four cars? Can Chip hang on to Marcus Ericsson? Or even move him to the 10 car? Is Callum Illot on the move? What about Christian Lundgaard? And could Graham Rahal leave his own team? All that and more on M101 on IndyCar in Barber!
