A stunning Gateway drive gave Scott Dixon a second win in a row and left his rivals marvelling at his skills, making sure The Race IndyCar Podcast has plenty to talk about this week.
Why more people didn’t go for Dixon’s three-stop strategy and what victory means for his title charge are discussed by co-hosts Jack Benyon and Indianapolis 500 regular JR Hildebrand.
Whether McLaren driver Pato O’Ward is outperforming his car or he’s a lost title contender after a rollercoaster year is also debated, while Hildebrand gives a fascinating insight into how drivers analyse and try to improve their performances when they are proving inconsistent – just as Josef Newgarden and Team Penske have been this year.
Beyond the Gateway race, there’s news on 2022 Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericsson – whose bombshell move to Andretti was announced last week – plus late-season outings for Juri Vips and Tom Blomqvist amid a busy IndyCar driver market silly season.
