Hinchcliffe: We Had A Rollercoaster IndyCar Grand Prix Day

James Hinchcliffe

Qualified: 18th (Round 1 – 68.7710 seconds)

Finished: 16th

Standings: 10th (107 points)

Quote:
“Such a rollercoaster of a day with getting that [drive-thru] penalty, making our way back up to the top five and settling into a good strategy to keep us in the top 10, to making a mistake which lost us three positions on the last lap. I’m really frustrated with myself and for the Arrow guys. Our finish certainly doesn’t paint the best picture of what we could have done today. We have to swallow this one and move on, because next week is a whole other ball game. Happy for [teammate] Jack [Harvey] and those guys on their first podium.”Click here for more photos, courtesy of INDYCAR Photos
