Scott Dixon says that the Mid-Ohio IndyCar race proves that the championship has “the best racing in the world” after he beat team-mate Felix Rosenqvist. Dixon ran one less pitstop than Rosenqvist and managed to hold off his late-charging Chip Ganassi Racing team-mate, despite the pair touching wheels while fighting for the win. “You know,

Felix Rosenqvist says racing his IndyCar team-mate Scott Dixon is like “playing with fire” and he would have been more aggressive against a non-Chip Ganassi Racing-run car at Mid-Ohio. The Chip Ganassi team-mates fought for victory as Rosenqvist closed in rapidly during the closing stages as he had better tyre life than Dixon. Most drivers

Scott Dixon used an alternative strategy to claim his second victory of the 2019 IndyCar season, leading a Ganassi one-two ahead of Felix Rosenqvist at Mid-Ohio.

Josef Newgarden, who was the last

Last year’s Iowa winner James Hinchcliffe says low sun in this weekend’s IndyCar race at the oval could prove “dangerous”, and that he is “disappointed” with the start time.

Three-time Toronto IndyCar winner Will Power says the crash that ended the Penske driver’s race last weekend on the penultimate lap was a “terrible mistake”.

Robert Wickens says driving again is “the best therapy” after leading parade laps at the Toronto IndyCar race in a specially adapted road car with hand controls.

Simon Pagenaud resisted a late charge from Scott Dixon to claim his third win of the 2019 IndyCar season in Toronto.

Penske’s Will Power and Josef Newgarden are at a loss to explain how Alexander Rossi was able to take such a dominant IndyCar win for Andretti Autosport at Road America.

Alexander Rossi dominated IndyCar’s Road America race to take his second win of the season, ending a run of three second places from the last four races.
