Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg Race Report

“It was a wild weekend. From the ups and downs of braking issues in second practice and then warmup this morning, we definitely earned this one. We fixed engine calibration issues early on (in the race), got out in front of the pace car by about a second or two keeping us on the lead lap. To finish today fourth was just awesome. This No. 28 DHL Honda team has done a great job all day. To fight back like that, I had to keep coming spot after spot really earning it, then there at the end I got that spot back from my teammate Sato. We had a lot of fun out there driving every last drop out of the car, and it’s great to be back in the role and into the swing of things. Hopefully we can get the DHL Honda team back on the podium where we belong, but a fourth-place finish is a good start. This whole team has done a great job; Andretti Autosport has been working hard. We had some great pace, showed good promise and I’m looking forward to the next race.”

  • Battled to a fourth-place finish after starting from the 12th position
  • Made hard contact with the wall during morning warm up after a brake failure caused by a mechanical issue; fought back from an engine calibration issue on the race’s opening lap, resulting in two unscheduled pit stops after taking the green flag
