The Latest Breaking News from Marcus Ericsson

After the Indianapolis Road Course race in May, Grosjean was fourth in points with only Alex Palou, Pato O’Ward and Marcus Ericsson ahead of him.

It was a season of surprisingly few race winners, with Alex Palou sweeping to the championship with a round to spare and Josef Newgarden cleaning up on the majority of the oval tracks. 

Eight cautions made up 35 of 95 laps, with three of those yellow flags coming after crashes on restarts in the final corner of the 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course.

A seventh IndyCar title eluded him for the third consecutive season, but Dixon’s charge to close out the runner-up spot with three wins in the final four rounds shows he remains a force to be reckoned with.

The 23-year-old Formula 2 graduate ran 12 of 17 races, which excluded ovals, in a ride share agreement with Takuma Sato.

The six-time champion kept his head when many around him lost theirs, beating Scott McLaughlin (Team Penske) and his champion team-mate Alex Palou after a race punctuated by eight caution periods caused by a series of wildly over-optimistic lunges and collisions that had a definite end-of-term feel.

The speedy Swede, who is joining Meyer Shank Racing in 2024, drove “a gorilla lap” flyer of 1m06.6416s lap on the 11-turn, 2.238-mile natural terrain road course.

The 23-year-old Californian set the tone early with a flying lap of 1m07.5382s around the 11-turn, 2.238-mile natural terrain road course.

The 23-year-old sits atop the Rookie of the Year standings despite running a partial campaign that has consisted solely of road and street circuits. He has recorded three top-eight results in 11 IndyCar starts.
