In the closing laps of the Grand Prix of Alabama, the Rahal Letterman Lanigan driver was trying to get around Scott McLaughlin’s Team Penske while fending off Grosjean.
Rahal was having to keep an eye on his fuel mileage having gone for a two-stop strategy, whereas Grosjean’s Andretti Autosport team had put him on a three-stopper, so his tyres had more life.
