It’s a busy episode for The Race IndyCar Podcast which has the Portland race to review, a look ahead at the Laguna Seca season finale and one of its drivers edging closer to a Formula 1 chance to consider.
Hosts Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand look back on a less eventful than expected Portland race, running out of superlatives for touring car convert Scott McLaughlin who netted his third win of the season, and examining what could have been a strategy call that cost Josef Newgarden the title.
Will Power’s post-race comments on wanting to win this year’s title for his crew are also contextualised in his new mental approach for this season.
The hosts give their take on who is favourite to clinch the title in California this weekend with five drivers still in the hunt for the Astor Cup trophy.
Red Bull has given its most obvious intention yet that Colton Herta is its next protege at AlphaTauri, if he can gain a superlicence. The hosts discuss if Herta is the best driver to pick from the current IndyCar grid and assess his credentials.
