The 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner looking for fresh start, chance to win 2023 IndyCar championship.
Alexander Rossi was on top of the IndyCar world after winning the 100th Indy 500 in 2016.
Unfortunately, the latter never happened. Even in the year he won the 500, he finished a disappointing 11th in the season standings. The highest the California native and former Formula 1 racer reached in those championship standings was second and third .Getty Images “It's just on race days, we haven't been getting it done,” he said. “And that's really been the difference maker. Some of that was self-inflicted, some of that was my issues, some of that was just bad luck some of that was the team's issues.
Rossi is unquestionably excited at what lies ahead of him, although it’s also natural for him—or any driver who switches teams, for that matter—to have somewhat of a fear of the unknown and how he’ll respond after the last few years and at his previous IndyCar address.“Yeah, you're right,” Rossi said. “I went into this being not naive in the sense that when you're at a certain place for a long period of time, you start to know the strengths and weaknesses, know the good and the bad.
“It was really just a matter of do we really want to do this,” Rossi said. “In the middle of 2021, things were still not progressing the way that any of us wanted. And so it was like, well, a maybe, maybe not type of thing. And so that's when you really start to have to have internal conversation with yourself and start to understand where we're at, what you think you can do and what other opportunities are out there.
After competing in last year’s Rolex 24 Hours endurance race at Daytona International Speedway, Rossi is sitting this one out. Perhaps it’s just as well, as next week he and the rest of the IndyCar world—drivers and teams, that is—will have their first full practice/test of the year with a two-day event at The Thermal Club near Palm Springs, Calif.
