Andretti’s on-track team-mate collisions, Scott McLaughlin’s brilliant victory and another masterclass drive in 2022 from Will Power make up the key topics of this week’s The Race IndyCar Podcast.

Co-host Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand break down the turmoil suffered by Arrow McLaren SP which had a good chance to win with either of its drivers before a double retirement, and marvel at Scott McLaughlin’s ability to win in one of the toughest open-wheel championships in the world despite his single-seater inexperience.

Power’s drive from the back of the field to a podium is outlined and explained, while Alex Palou’s latest runner-up finish is contextualised in the sense of how desperate should he be to get a victory over the line this season.

But our hosts save the biggest topic for last as they talk about Romain Grosjean and Alexander Rossi’s three on-track collisions, as well as Grosjean’s clash with Colton Herta and Rossi’s with Devlin DeFrancesco. They discuss how the team might move forward from this dark day, and try to make sense of where the blame lay.
