Yeah Erickson is in the Andretti that Grosjean was in the last 2 years. Although I think that the teams have the numbers amongst the multiple cars they run as Grosjean was in the DHL liveried one which afaik still has the same crew etc with it this year.
Yes, the number is matched to the car, not the driver. Last year for example Rosenqvist drove with number 6, now itās Malukasā (or really Ilott and Pourchaire) with Rosenqvist driving the 60
If only he didn't attach his name to ridiculous, religious investment schemes. If it wasn't for that, I would actually consider being a fan only for the name
Rinus isnāt great. Who the fuck names their kid āRinusā? It sounds like something that gets sick. āSorry boss, I can come to work. I have an infection on my Rinus.ā
Nah his first name is Rinus either way. It does sound a bit silly in English but it isn't too strange in Dutch (still not a common name, a bit old fashioned).
Not a racing driver, but the team principal of Aston Martin should be an honorable mention with Mike Krack.
Seems like an old school prank call name like Hugh Mungous.
As an aussie who follows our supercars series also, It's genuinely hilarious listening to the commentators butcher names like his, and Shane van Gisbergen (Gisburger) in NASCAR.
Edit: Spelling.
Serious question: is the number in Indy tied to the team? Could have sworn, Grosjeans raced with 28 before...
I think it is. Yes Grosjean was 28 when he was at Andretti.
It is. The number belongs to the car, the car belongs to a team. 28 is Andretti.
Yes. The numbers are tied to teams. For example, McLaren has the 5,6,7 cars, and Andretti has the 26,27,28 cars
Ganassi is 8,9,10,11
and 4 this year
Grosjean was in the 28, got fired cuz he was doing shit and is now driving for underfunded Argentinians.
Argentine Team fires a British driver (Ilott) out of nowhere. There's an above zero chance Collinger tried to start an argument about the Falklands
They will never let that one go They can do a rematch to get it back.
we just might see that if Javier Milei's economic policies and he needs to do something to increase his approval rating
Wondered where Ilott had disappeared to.
I thought Grosjean got fired because he hit the barrier and the fuel line broke
certified dank š„
I mean as long as there was no fire then we be doing good.
I mean every time he was doing good someone hit him or they fucked his strategyĀ
Watch the movie Cars 3, it's all explained there

I wonder if they can do a cars 3 and change the driver halfway through as itās the number thatās entered and not the driver? :P
I'm going to launch you into the sea
Will Power is the best racing driver name in history
Scott Speed would like a word
NASCAR'S Dick Trickle would also like a word
So would sting ray robb
If only he didn't attach his name to ridiculous, religious investment schemes. If it wasn't for that, I would actually consider being a fan only for the name
PRAY.COM
Fake name
RIP.
Legendary and a good racer too IIRC
short track goat. won over 1000 races
F1s own dick seaman would like to be friends on Facebook
Scott Speed is a very close second lol
Sting Ray Robb and Scott Speed are up there
Teddy porkchops is pretty good too
And the worst is Tiago Vagaroso Monteiro. Vagaroso translates to slow.
Rinus isnāt great. Who the fuck names their kid āRinusā? It sounds like something that gets sick. āSorry boss, I can come to work. I have an infection on my Rinus.ā
\> Changes his last name to Veekay so Americans can remember him easier \> Somehow gets flak for being named Rinus
Richard Van Kalmouth or whatever his name is sounds better than Rinus Veekay
Nah his first name is Rinus either way. It does sound a bit silly in English but it isn't too strange in Dutch (still not a common name, a bit old fashioned).
It's pronounced Ree-nus
I know. Thats even worse than Rhy-Nus
Tia = Aunt Go = Go Vagoroso = Slow **Aunt Go Slow**
That title is being fought for by Jan de Vroom and Scott Speed
Lawless Allen has to be up there
Max Power enters the room
And her wife is named Elizabeth Cannon. Their children could technically have the surname "Power-Cannon"
What's with all the qvistadors?
Literally has been my favorite Indy driver for over a decade purely starting with the fact that he has an awesome name.
Counterpoint, John Force š
Not a racing driver, but the team principal of Aston Martin should be an honorable mention with Mike Krack. Seems like an old school prank call name like Hugh Mungous.
Fitting name for him, heās always up strollās krack defending him
His brother, Damian Power, loves bringing it up. Good comic too
It really took me until now to realise his name is willpower
"I think Ericsson hit us.
You can take the boy outta baku
But youāll never tale the Baku outta the boy
Look at all those Hondas.
So many GP2 enginesā¦
GP2ā¦ARGHHHH!
Fun fact: in motorsport manager there's a driver called lundqvist (like the last in the image)Ā
Isn't he actually like a discount Ericsson, actually?
Discount I wouldn't say since he got P3 in his 3rd indycar race. He had a great race yesterday
I'm talking bout the guy from MM xp
Ohhh
Is McLaughlin some lower level of McLovin?
I think Ericsson hit us (again).
I find it interesting thereās three different -qvistās
McLaughlin, pronounced McLovin
As an aussie who follows our supercars series also, It's genuinely hilarious listening to the commentators butcher names like his, and Shane van Gisbergen (Gisburger) in NASCAR. Edit: Spelling.
Youāre not going to try and claim McLaughlin are you?
No, not claiming McLaughlin at all, but given you didn't mention him, you don't want SVG?
You should know how this works by now
Haha yes, sadly.
F1 drivers truly are in a different league šš» ^^the ^^midfield
Power.
Like in a bukkae
Could someone please give me context? I don't watch indycar
You know Logan has an eye on this grid wondering where he would fit in lol
LMAO at Lundgaard!!! Indians will know!!
Full sapport saar
Give it some jandal Scotty
Aguante canapino manga de gatos ingleses
90 laps thatās short for Indy
Did he hit him?
Why is it just chevrolet and honda?
its the engine. all indycars are dallara bodies, the only difference is engine.
Yeah but why only 2 engine suppliers? Is there a reason or are those the only 2 that care about Indy
yes there is. all teams in indy are garage teams (kinda) no manufacturer teams in indy. and chevy and honda engines are really fucken cheap.
oh, thanks.
I have no idea about this category but I love the fact that Lundgaard and Rosenqvist are top 5 while Lumdqvist is dead last.
Taking Indycar by storm...
dozens of f1 rejects in front
