Late Collision At The IndyCar Nashville Race | Romain Grosjean

[@aid-kit11]

Sorry about this Romain, you should’ve been on the podium. Nonetheless a lot of momentum to keep pushing 👊🏻

[@Fredisaviewer]

Romain, I've not commented to you before, but as a long term Indycar fan (I've watched the various incarnations of the series since 1973), let me belatedly welcome you to the series. I am glad you race in Indycar, and you make Indycar a better series. This was an unfortunate thing to happen. You were punted into the wall here. Nobody deserves this and it was a dangerous undertaking by Newgarden. While I'll say no-one is perfect, and all drivers occasionally have their moments, Newgarden's comments after the race both on NBC, and later on Twitter I think indicate that he either did this intentionally, or did it by mistake but tried to make it like you somehow deserved it. Either case is horrible and I think a lot of people are going to think less of him. Please know that despite any drivers bullying you on the track, that you just need to persist, and eventually other drivers will show you respect. Other new drivers in the series have had to overcome the disrespect that has been shown them before, but in the end, other drivers did come around. You already have a world full of fans who really enjoy you as a driver and think you're very kind to them personally at the track, so keep your head up high and keep up the good fight. I look forward to seeing you notch up your first win soon. Thanks for your daring, skillful abilities, and who you seem to be as a person.

Tough Break Romain...I was screaming at the TV when I watched it! Such a great weekend for you minus the ending. Can't wait for you to be on that top podium spot, it's coming! I've always wanted to know from your perspective, if you were going to host an F1 race in the US, which track would you pick from the indycar circuit?

[@icepop77]

It was an unnecessary risk to take on Newgarden's part. The fact that the race stewards took no further action is, frankly, embarrassing for the sport. Indy needs to tighten up what they consider to be clean racing. Otherwise, Indy will continue to be perceived as nothing more than open wheel NASCAR. This is a great sport with great drivers and it does a great job of distinguishing itself from F1 by way of budget, but Indy really should aspire to the level of quality of F1 in terms of racing clean AND quality of race courses (I'm looking at you, Nashville). This weekend was very disappointing. Nashville continues to be a poorly chosen street course and the amount of shithousery that the stewards allow is simply unacceptable.

[@rafaelcoutomarinho6314]

A Indy nunca deverá usar as regras estúpidas da F1 pro seu campeonato. Incidentes de corrida acontecem, uma hora grosjean fez outra hora recebeu. Simples assim.

[@rafaelcoutomarinho6314]

Ninguém prefere ver Mônaco no lugar de Nashville. Se gosta de tédio pode ver anualmente o GP de Mônaco

[@GabeClendenning]

If you want an example of the same thing in F1, look at 2018 Azerbaijan Raikkonen Ocon crash. Street tracks are tight, 90 degree or near 90 degree corners are even tighter. Newgarden’s move was a aggressive, no doubt, but he was fully alongside as they both turned in, and was ahead at the apex. That said, Grosjean did nothing wrong and it’s a shame it ruined his race after being so fast throughout the weekend. But I wouldn’t go so far as to say Newgarden was unsporting or deserved a penalty. This isn’t the same as punitively dumping someone like in NASCAR. But I would agree the track and definitely be improved, especially in the tighter sections, having a straight where cars can go four wide and but two can’t go side by side through the corner is a massive oversight.

Very disappointing to see the way you get treated alongside the season. No driver is perfect, of course, but you seem to be pulling the short end of the stick undeservedly. I always have, and will admire your bravery and to push at places no driver would dare to do, because even if there's no guarantee it works out, if it does, oh is it satisfying to watch!

Romain didn't do anything wrong. It's just racing. Clearly Newgarden had the racling line, and was ahead at apex, so if this was F1, Romain would have gotten investigated for causing a collision... The best thing to do there, would be for Romain to lift. is that ideal? no. but in order to finish first... you must first finish...

He should have given way" but the other driver had no possible option to avoid a crash. In order to give way safely Romain would have had to read his mind and predict the dive bomb before it happened and given way - i.e by the time he saw the move happening it was too late to do anything about it other than hit the wall.

Sorry Romain. I was just almost seeing you podium

[@deanhirasawa1414]

That move by Josef would have been fantastic and fair.... on a road course with some runoff. On a street circuit with concrete walls, IMHO it was questionable at best. At worst, it could have been judged by the stewards as an avoidable collision.

[@LokiBeckonswow]

Romain, brutal place for you to run out of brakes- but DAMN that was some nice driving, very cool to see you catch up to the cars ahead and then slide into that inside line, very cool to see you still killing it

[@darkelemental]

It wasn't bad luck or him running out of brakes. He was intentionally pushed wide into the wall. Newgarden basically admits it during interviews saying he should've just backed out and he deserved to be put into a wall. It's some seriously dirty driving thats been plaguing indycar for a few years. Drivers treating the sport like some bottom freeder NASCAR and forcing all the decent drivers to give up and try to go to Europe

[@deanjdk]

Brilliant race up until then.

[@jca3183]

When you're too good, some people dont like you... Keep it up Romain

[@keso_de_bola9174]

Apart from losing a few places because of the pits, you were blazing the track out there. A lot of good overtakes! Tough luck on the collision on the end though.

[@timothyvanryzewyk2409]

What happened with newgarden ruined the rest of my Sunday and I wasn't even driving! I was so pumped for you to take your first win in indy last Sunday. It's crazy the move that he made AND the fact no action taken!?? You had over 70 seconds of p2p you had that win taken from you! Head up Romain your champagne is being kept cold and that cork will pop any day now!

[@MikeFr]

Romain, tu as vraiment fait une belle course, un peu malchanceux lors d'un arrêt au pit, mais le rythme était là, avec de beaux dépassements tout au long de l'épreuve. Je sais que tu avais gardé pas mal de Push to Pass pour les derniers tours (c'est toi qui en avait le plus dans le top 5) pour nous offrir à minima un beau podium bien mérité, mais ce dernier restart était délicat. On à bien senti que tu as voulu assurer la fin de l'épreuve, mais le destin en a décidé autrement. Surtout après ce forcing raté à l'intérieur qui ne t'as laissé aucune chance. Allez courage Romain, on lâche rien et on est beaucoup derrière toi ! ^_^

[@souldry]

I guess Romain gets a free pass to run Newgarden into the wall next time. Surely he won’t be penalized either

[@apophisstr6719]

Doing it the American way lmao.

[@CASEMSTR]

Tbf, Romain left no room for Josef on the inside, and so when Josef had the bobble over the bump, contact was bound to happen. If you watch back, Josef never went all the way to the outside wall. So he didnt push Romain into the wall, he just bounced into his door, and the wall left nowhere to go. Both could have avoided the incident, if both were a bit more careful, but Josef had right to the inside of the track, and by the apex, had the position, so would also have right to the exit.

@@CASEMSTR joesef was divbombong him he was never making that turn and would prob be in the wall if grosjeans car wasnt there to stop him, should of been a slam dunk penelty on newgarden

[@danielhenderson8316]

As long as he’s side by side, he probably will. It’s the same move Grosjean pulled on Rahal.

[@PuzzlerDeb]

@@CASEMSTR “had the bobble over the bump and just bounced into his door”. ??? You have GOT to be kidding!! This is IndyCar, not BumperCar…and we’d all like to know what anti-Grosjean media outlet you work for, because if someone actually paid you for that bouncing, bobbling buffoonery you just posted…shame on you. We know a deliberate crash job when we see one

[@adb9945]

Brings back bittersweet memories

[@jamesjannell8706]

Tuff to see you get squeezed into the wall. Amazing how tight the racing was and there wasn't more of it.

[@k_alex]

I love these videos. Great angle.

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Is this the first time in history where IndyCar (or _any_ major racing sport for that matter) has Racers on a street circuit racing on a bridge that crosses a body of water? At the very least, is this the _longest_ bridge they have raced across?

[@TheLibermania]

Those suspensions are just impressive. The bumpy roads look as worse for the body as the porpoising.

[@holoduke51a]

I love the camera positions. Much better than in f1 where everything is so dramatised

[@badrsosseyalaoui6430]

It's ok, l'm sure you will finish on the podium next 🔥🏁

[@smudent2010]

Newgarden gave you the iracing fixed lobby special

[@fjracing1926]

Was so hoping for a podium finish for you. Keep your head up!

[@alimanski7941]

You were so quick, such lovely overtakes, then to get taken out in such a blatant manner - that sucks

[@chrishammer5925]

I was so bummed man, you were having a great race

[@stefrubingh524]

6:00 : had a giggle, absolutely right to put it there

[@Lastname6955]

Gutted, you were doing great all race ☹️

[@matthewwhite5158]

That's brutal. Keep at it and you will like the results.

[@cresshead]

Love the camera angles in Indy car racing

[@QuickKiller_21]

That double overtake was OP

[@jimmyconway8025]

This track is crazy! Seems very hard to fallow. The action was damn crazy too! You just don't see that in F1 Indy is much more balls to wall! Not to mention more entertaining!

[@Simon.993]

That looks like a fun track
