What an awful mistake by the Herta crew pitting him a lap too soon, he had the best car arguably but having to save while nobody else around him did just absolutely destroyed one of the best Andretti runs all year.
Definitely don’t understand the thinking on Herta’s strategy and disappointed in Rossi’s outcome. Looks like it’s Palau’s to lose. In a weird way it’s a confirmation of the decision to not award double points for the 500. While with the outcome as it really happened would narrow the gap between Palau & Newgarden, imagine if Palau had won the 500: it’d be over. The season is already too short. As it is, there’s still a chance it’s still in doubt going into the also-re-paved Laguna Seca.
