ROMAIN GROSJEAN
NO. 28 ZAPTA COMPUTING/ DHL HONDA
QUALIFYING RESULT: 12th
LAP TIME: 1.16.9740
“The car was good enough for P1 in practice and good enough to move on in qualifying. I’m not sure what happened, but it’s disappointing. The No. 28 Zapata Computing / DHL crew will get the job done, so we are ready for the race tomorrow.”
The grid is set for the Detroit Grand Prix. Andretti Autosport had three of its four cars move to the top 12 from their starting groups. Colton Herta nearly joined the Firestone Fast Six, qualifying seventh. Alexander Rossi was looking at advancing with a final fast lap after clearing traffic; however, an incident in the last seconds of top 12 qualifying halted progress. To the team’s dismay, the caution was brought out by Romain Grosjean, who made contact with the wall. Rookie Devlin DeFrancesco did not advance out of Group One but had one of his best practice sessions by finishing eighth in Practice 2.
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
