IndyCar’s Romain Grosjean Gives His All But Comes Up Short Once Again

When, oh when, will Romain Grosjean finally earn his first IndyCar win?

The former Formula One driver had nothing to hang his head about in finishing second in Sunday’s Children’s of Alabama race at Barber Motorsports Park.

But the numbers keep hitting him like a tire in the face: Sunday was his sixth podium since coming to IndyCar in 2021, of which five of those finishes have been runner-up showings.

Yet, still no win, something that is frustrating the Swiss driver.

“I hurt, I’m going to be honest,” Grosjean said. “The three-stop (pit strategy) never wins at Barber, but today the pits stayed open and gave McLaughlin an edge on the three-stop.”
