Michael Andretti was left fuming after the Mid-Ohio IndyCar race. All four of his drivers were involved in intra-team scraps that cost them three top-10 finishes and left some serious questions to be answered.
Following a restart, Alexander Rossi and Romain Grosjean were duelling over 10th place on lap 59 of the 80-lap race when Grosjean (on Firestone alternates) and Rossi (on the harder primaries) approached Turn 2, the latter protecting the inside line and Grosjean on the outside. Rossi perhaps braked a tad late and understeered wide from the apex. The resulting impact between his team-mate’s right-front wheel and his own left-front was enough to tear the steering wheel from his hand.
