MY MOVE EXPLAINED + ALABAMA VLOG

[@spencerweldon8086]

That was honestly one of the best overtakes I’ve ever seen. Small contact, but that’s racing!

[@joshoriordan3325]

Christian Lundgard did nearly the exact same move earlier in the race but without contact if I remember correctly.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

If it was F1 one of the drivers would have tried to push the other off track and they would have complained the rest of the race about the contact.

[@Artoo27]

@@ninetailedfox579121 Cars would have disintegrated and FIA banned the drivers for having the gall to pass without DRS.

[@xtlm]

That move happens at that corner more then you would think actually lol, it's a sweet corner! But yeah, Gro did it well!

[@Artoo27]

@@xtlm I thought driving on the inside of the previous corner, Newgarden style, was the more common occurrence. You sacrifice the racing line, but if you get ahead you have the better exit line out of the last corner.

[@madhjsp]

You stopped for a photo in the paddock before the race and made the day for my friend and me, then treated everyone to a great show with this remarkable drive. Keep fighting, Romain, you’ll get atop the podium again soon!

[@PeterTeal77]

Coming from F1, Long Beach was the first indy race I ever attended and Alabama was the first I ever watched on tv. Fully converted to the series now, and I know that you are headed for a win and more. Godspeed Romain!

[@Bobbarker23455]

Such an underrated series.

[@jeeveso]

you'll love the ovals once you get into the swing of it too :)

[@diegobert4033]

@@jeeveso you’re so right I used to hate oval racing but I’ve come to appreciate it so much. Love the race at Gateway. And of course the 500 really is the greatest race on the planet.

[@jeeveso]

@@diegobert4033 same!! Used to just think urgh 4 right turns but actually watching it is so interesting and exciting! Especially when there are multiple lanes

[@ralkrey9526]

To how boring F1 become since 2012 last most competitive season, too bad it took me long to switch to Indy, there really is a stereotype of oval racing but, it really is good.

[@MyRecordingRoom]

Keep making these behind-the-scene videos. Can’t get enough. Oh, and I stood up and joyously yelled at my TV seeing you make that pass. Absolutely beautiful.

[@BillyRamirez]

IndyCar racing has been on a completely different stratosphere from Formula 1 lately and I'm here for it.

[@storkpatrick]

Absolutely one if not the BEST prepared and executed Pass of your career. i was screaming at my monitor

[@matk4731]

Ballsey move mate. That was one hell of a race. Super effort all weekend. Thanks for sharing 🙃🙃👍🏻👍🏻

[@greyone40]

The best of racing right there. Drivers leaving room, good clean racing. That was a nice track to race on too. Oh yeah, and loving your content here!

[@chadwickstephens4843]

Awesome race, fantastic battles on track

[@Stuartthehobbytrucker]

Loved that overtake. I definitely wasn’t expecting it

[@mait1995]

Scotty Mac’s fan here (since supercars) you deserved this victory, it’ll come sooner or later. That was hell of a race at Barber.

[@beezball]

Best pass I've seen all year in the world of racing.

[@DJDouglasWarden]

when is definitely coming. don't get discouraged with second or third place though keep getting them top five finishes and you'll be a championship contender no doubt. ☮️❤️🎵🤗🌍🏁

[@DJDouglasWarden]

coming is win *

[@rodbrown8306]

Hope this continues with my man Scott, this sort of racing is brilliant between you two, great drive Romain.

[@dmarshall5148]

I was at Barber all weekend, 2 race tickets, 2 qualifing tickets, 2 Friday practice tickets, 2 garage passes and parking passes all for under $300. Can't beat that.

[@MrSafari1998]

Bien joué Romain pour ce beau dépassement et merci pour l'analyse !

[@gameherojo3618]

Such an entertaining fight! You'll get him next time

[@RomainR4423]

Bravo l’artiste!! Magnifique! La victoire ne va plus tarder c’est sûr!

[@beauxvoyages]

Vraiment Romain, ce fut une très belle course que j'ai pu suivre sur Canal. J'attends avec impatience la suivante !!

[@RV6Pilot]

You look like you’re having fun in Indycar - good on ya!

[@jeeveso]

Great drive and great race being 20/30 secs ahead of the next 2 stoppers and holding off Power, onto the month of May!

[@Posirep]

To be fair....all those other 2 stoppers were stuck behind Newgarden for many laps leading his own Trulli train. If Power wasn't stuck in that train for as long as he was he probably would have won the race

[@michaeldorich4485]

You're going great. Keep up the good work and a victory is right around the corner.

[@nabukadnezar8439]

Magnifique mouvement, du pur Racing, Merci pour le partage et ta magnifique carrière. Keep pushing

Good luck and all the best Romain!!! It's so great to see your progress this year. 👍👍👍

In a word "Racecraft" Awesome job Romain

[@tadroid3858]

Fantastic racing!! Thanks. You're going to win this year!!

[@jacobandmore3915]

Romain, I hope and pray you win this year. You have shown your potential and it’s coming for sure this year.

[@ryanwhitlock7350]

Great driving man! The yellow just played into the hands of the 3-stoppers, you were the best driver all day, and put on a good show for those of us who were there. I recently finished your autobiography (which I got signed from you at Nashville!), and was there Sunday in Barber. You've made me a big fan!

[@kasankesi7075]

Mega job! Keep pushing!!

[@hwilmore]

Awesome move!

[@ivn414]

Hell of a race Romain, that win is coming for sure!

[@theway3058]

[@danniejones2032]

Great drive Ro! Go get that 1st win at Indy RC.

[@kobeedavis8946]

I got your autograph right after pole before you had your interview! My first time at barber and I’ll definitely be back next year!

[@WilbanksUSMC]

It was great to have you in Alabama, Romain! I hope you enjoyed your time! I grew up about 15 mins. from Barber.

[@wife9571]

great job romain!

[@mitchellbooth114]

dude your doing wonders keep at it

[@adventure_48]

You owned that race. Really hoping to see you in the 1 spot at some point this season

[@gregkarkowsky967]

That was a hell of a ride, kid. Loved it.

[@mulejeremy6057]

Bien joué Bigjohn 🎉❤❤❤

[@CCBovell]

We were cheering you on from turn 12, great race Romaine just bad luck with the timing of that yellow. Keep driving hard brother

[@vincentfegley6068]

That was a really cool move. Ill admit it, I screamed at the tv when I saw that.

[@corbendallas4716]

Another very solid result Romain.... plus the music is FUNKY!!!!

[@Alkaline7y]

Brilliant drive, you just got unlucky. that win is coming soon though, and I can't wait to see it!

[@John-jl9de]

Great coverage and race.

[@boer-sietse]

great podium romain i hope you will win

[@chriskni2821]

Having done 1,000's of laps here, that outside move was super impressive and shows your brainpower. Most like to maintain that inside line as the little bit of camber at 15/16 (15 to me...16 to you) gives a ton of grip but with your downforce the outside worked. Glad to see you moving towards the front in Indy. Keep it up!

[@indy500tabasco8]

good job

[@slwsnowman4038]

I love that track. If you are bold, you can pass just about anywhere.

[@dee3368]

So close... you're going to get one this year I am confident of that

[@augustinep6193]

Good.

[@michaelhintz6187]

Nice livery.

[@eternalmercenary463]

Can you imagine your first win coming at the Indy 500! I can....

[@gregorybonafini5195]

I love your videos with backstage before the race. 💪

[@robertcarr4172]

Romain is driving so well. That win is coming

[@bigggmomenttt]

God tier move that would be hardcore in the sim but to pull it off for the lead omg. Gangster moment ngl

[@kekolber868]

Another tremendous drive. Dominant, really, considering how far ahead of the other two-stoppers you were.

[@Pskpsi]

Remarkable performance, especially since you ended up on the more difficult strategy!

[@danaruhlin571]

Romaine, you are such a great drive! you had bad luck with traffic in the qualifying for the Indy GP road Race! why don't you just get pissed off, get even by winning the INDY 500?!!!!! You are drinving so well, and your have a good car! Show them what you can do, Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ninetailedfox579121]

Romain trying to pass Scott coming out of the pits for P1, where have we seen that before? Glad it went better this time.

[@zachbishop5421]

Man I feel like you've lost out on pitroad or with the stratagy a couple of your p2s maybe I don't know enough about what's going on behind the scenes but youve done everything right more than once but all aspects have to come together in indycar....that drive at barber was next level beating the first one on your stratagy by 20 seconds or whatever it was that's insane

[@Schadows77]

I can't say I'm a fan of your livery chaging race after race (can't even think of buying the model since your switch to Andretti because nothing really scream "that's Grosjean's car !!!"), but at least the show is there whatever the color XD Keep going, the first win is close, we can all smell it.

[@xtlm]

Gotta pay the bills somehow, ya know?

[@nickb2049]

In US racing, the number is more important than the livery. Romain will be in the #28 for a long while. and DHL will be his primary sponsor for the majority of the season.

[@lufo5]

Hi Romain. Any chance to see you at 24h le Mans? Cheers!

[@TheHighRoadToVictory]

So what happened with the disappearing push to pass??

[@jondoepenn3637]

Really felt like you should of tried to stay out 1 or 2 more laps before that last stop. Were you almost out of fuel?

[@hansgruber3035]

It was a sick move

[@Bobbarker23455]

Not even a romain fan but you can tell he will win a race this yr.

[@gregkarkowsky967]

Romain, you need to explain the difference between a 2 or 3 pit strategy. Do they have to stop 3 times? Were you only allowed to stop twice?

[@ianperry9598]

In Indy, you can stop as many times as needed. The only rule is that you must use both tire compounds ( soft + hard ) at least once during the race. A 2 stop will guarantee enough fuel to finish the race. A 3 stop could be more of a gamble as you could have fresher tires than those on a 2 stop

[@Bolt_theG35]

What he said ^^^ and the idea of a two stop is to get out so far ahead a three stop won’t be able to catch you but it’s a gamble because a two stop has to conserve fuel more while a three stop doesn’t need to conserve at all. That’s why that caution hurt the two stoppers and ultimately gave McLaughlin the advantage. Roman didn’t have the fuel to push hard at the end while McLaughlin did.

[@SALEENS7GTR5]

The 3 stop plays into a more volatile start and gamble for minimal yellows to be on the fastest tires at the last segment of the race to catch the fuel and tire and saving 2-stop racers. This race had 1 yellow. Penseke was 1 and 3. Romain almost made the 2 stop work because he was leading and driving well, but of course his tires were shot by the final stages, whereas McLaughlin had fresher rubber and more fuel, so he could push more.

[@ninetailedfox579121]

There is no "have to" about it. Pit strategies are made by the team and they aren't required to do anything besides change tire compounds at least once.

[@samkwant4050]

Where did all the P2P go though?

[@souldry]

Hey man, if you keep getting second places all year, you’ll run away with the championship.

[@uprightfossil6673]

I am not convinced you used up your ptp. Every time I see the board, you are among the drivers with the most left near the end of the race. Then suddenly you have 0.

[@sidney2482]

28 seconds on fire; car number 28; May 28th...

[@eternalmercenary463]

Can you explain what happened to your push-to-pass at the end? You're always so conservative with it, preferring to outdrive the others, and I've never seen you use it all in a race.

[@raigs4513]

Grosjean how are you

[@jimomertz]

Loved the move. That was awesome! Didn’t love you blowing the breaking into turn (1 or 2) that let Scott by. It may have not mattered anyway since you were on fuel saving and out of P2P. He probably would have got by anyway. You need to stop this BS fuel saving strategy. It doesn’t work!
