[@kylegoodman5196]

Think of a DW12 Indycar as a more modern version of an late 80s/early 90s F1 Car. The power figures are right about the same but the engine is more focused on durability and reliability than outright performance. A DW12 with the UAK18 aero kit probably has more downforce in road courses than say a McLaren or Williams of the era, especially because its very reliant on ground effects. They're both carbon fiber bodies and carbon ceramic brakes. The Indycar is geared way longer than than the F1 Car even on road courses because Indycars use rolling starts. Indycars also ride higher than F1 cars of the period did. My guess is a 90s F1 car, even one without the fanciest doo dads like Williams, is probably faster around a road course than the DW12 due to shorter gearing, power steering and the quicker response of the naturally aspirated V10s of the period. Then again the F1 car isn't surviving a trip on an oval or many of the Indy street circuits. They both have appeal and are fun to watch.

The world thinks that the USA is only about going left in ovals with overweight V8 "stock cars" (they're not stock cars anymore) and that's not the case. Nascar is actually adapting and incorporating several road courses throughout the year because people are tired of watching cookie cutter 1.5 mile ovals. F1, WRC, and especially Indycar are big in American Motorsports and that's why F1 is doing two American GP's in 2022 (COTA and Miami). Open-wheel racing has gained a lot of traction and there's some competitive, solid racing nowadays. Americans just like rigid racing. They like drivers to be fighting the car instead of just guiding it along for a stroll. That's why Indycar is so tough to drive. It's just what Americans like watching in Motorsports. Also Americans like 3+ hour races. When I first started watching F1, I was like "wait, that's it" because the GP was so short. All of that practice and qualifying for 1.5 hours was crazy to me lol. Two different flavors of Motorsports but both have their advantages for sure. Regardless, I'm glad people from around the world are seeing the true identity of American Motorsports. You love to see it.

​@@DontBeClueless514 People don't say Jacques Villeneuve is the worst F1 Champion ever. These YT commentors that do are not experts.

hope you have good luck this year in IndyCar I’ve been watching your races a lot big fan

[@Alex-jk3vf]

Hmmm, in Indycar, you really drive the car.

[@ststst981]

I live right behind an indycar track, i can't wait to watch you race this season!

[@fredyair1]

Big thanks Romain! I'm sure you are cultivating a big following with your social media presence, specially with this informative videos and your willingness to communicate with the fans, thanks again and best of luck during the season.

[@JeffWallick]

I've followed you since your 3rd season with Haas F1 and so happy that you're enjoying Indycar so far. Can't wait to watch you race this season. Welcome to the U.S.

[@billgulker6187]

How can you not be a fan of this guy! Good luck!

[@don7680]

No kidding. Romain hasn't discussed this yet, but I bet he's super happy to be driving again (with a real chance to win again) and it's helped him get over the accident. It's the best therapy a driver could have. Like getting bucked off a horse, you have to get right back on again.

[@gillianb2352]

Great video Romain! Best of luck this year, it'll be my first time following IndyCar, so excited for you!

[@jonahm3121]

Glad to have you on board this season

[@michaelkamensky6230]

One thing I particularly appreciate about the centered and eye-level camera is that for once I can see an accurate view of what you see in the mirrors, @Roman Grosjean Official. So I watched it again and just imagined you were slightly ahead of someone who was trying to pass you and you were having to judge when to take the corner, when the other car would be too far alongside to safely take the corner, and when you know you've truly lost it and have to allow for a clean, safe pass.

Roman I'm a fan and subscriber, I followed your f1 career and miracle fireball crash and you're my favorite indy driver. I see big things coming. God bless you and your family and welcome to America 🇺🇸 🙏 😁

[@masterlesstheband]

Hello Romain! Nice to see you. I've not seen much of you since your F1 farewell. Nice to see your channel and to see your Indy Car work. Glad you are enjoying your racing and happy to share with us.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Smashing it RG! Know your going to enjoy the year and once you get the feeling of the car you are going to be racing up front! Just Follow SB to the front! LOL! Cheers from the States!!!!

[@willjam465]

Very cool to get this perspective on the differences. Thanks for sharing!

[@greendraggun]

im sorry im so far behind. just discovering this channel now. but ive been an f1 fan since the 90's. so happy to see Grosjean behind the wheel again.

[@DucatiPaso750]

Thank you for the explanation. I'm looking forward to watching you race this season.

[@lukasethan6429]

Very happy to see you smile brother. I hope you have an awesome season!

[@thedon3346]

lol i found this video after commenting on a F1 video. I did not know there was a difference from Indy to F1 lol...This is awesome, amazing stuff man. You have to have big balls, and nerves of steel. Also really good endurance i would think.

[@lenovoyoga3459]
