🗣️'We had the pace in the car to fight for the win.' Marcus Ericsson believes he could be leading the IndyCar championship by a greater margin had it not been for a delay following Pato O’Ward’s spin at Long Beach on Sunday ⬇️
Marcus Ericsson believes he could be leading the IndyCar championship by a greater margin had it not been for a delay following Pato O’Ward’s spin at Long Beach on Sunday.
“We had the pace in the car to fight for the win. So it was a good recovery to come back and still finish on the podium. The pace on the last stint was amazing.”Asked to assess his chances had he not been delayed by O’Ward causing a track obstruction, Ericsson replied: “We had a good chance at it. We were running second behind Kyle [in the first stint]. I think we had a bit more pace than him, especially at the end of the race.
Ericsson remarked that being back at the top of the points, as he was after six rounds last year, will give him confidence for the upcoming races.
