. AlexanderRossi says it's a privilege and joy to race for ArrowMcLaren IndyCar team and provides some insight regarding the GPLongBeach track and his new car.
Alexander Rossi says the atmosphere at Arrow McLaren is one of “positivity” – and he believes the team is on the cusp of being able to match Andretti Autosport and Penske for street course performance.After spending the first seven years of his IndyCar career at Andretti Autosport, Rossi switched to Arrow McLaren this season, and while he says it’s “still early days” in terms of his adaptation to a new environment, he’s delighted with his move.
Rossi and one of his teammates, Pato O’Ward, were able to claim fourth and second respectively at the season-opening race at St. Petersburg, another street course, could bode well for Long Beach, a venue where he won for Andretti in 2018 and ’19. Despite several other series running on the track, which sometimes can negatively effect how IndyCar’s Firestones behave, Rossi said he isn’t expecting tire performance to be an issue, especially if the 1.968-mile course behaves as it did in 2022.
“I don't know what it's going to be like this year, if that sealant will still have that effect or if it's worn off after California got pummeled with rain for seemingly five months. I don't know. We'll have to see. Usually it's a good thing in terms of getting the cars up to speed.” “I think Firestone has done an amazing job in the sense that we have a sustainable tire that really produces the same level of performance as a non-sustainable tire. I think that was proved in Nashville last year, and that's why we're using them on all the street courses this year. I think it's a huge step for IndyCar, huge step for Firestone, something we should all be very proud to be a part of.
