Marcus Ericsson opened his 2023 season in style after passing Pato O’Ward with four laps to go to clinch victory in a chaotic IndyCar season opener. Report ⬇️
The restart was clean until the run from Turn 3 to Turn 4, when
By lap 23, Grosjean had dropped Herta by 5.5s, and Herta was dropping into the clutches of O’Ward and Ericsson. Into Turn 10 on lap 25, the Arrow McLaren driver claimed second. Simultaneously, another Andretti driver, Kirkwood, lost sixth and seventh place to McLaughlin and Dixon, and on lap 26, Power, Rossi andHerta then pitted on lap 27, and Kirkwood on lap 28.
That gave him the net lead – although it nearly didn’t! The yellows flew just as Dixon pitted, due to Daly spinning and stalling after being tagged by Kirkwood, but on checking the blend line, Race Control ordered Dixon to drop to fifth.Graham RahalThat softer rubber was nursed through the caution that followed, when VeeKay slid into the tyres at Turn 4 while being passed by Newgarden. It left Harvey with nowhere to go, and then Kirkwood struck the RLL car in the rear and launched over it.
Palou made his final stop on lap 65, and Dixon did the same next time by, with Rossi, O’Ward and Newgarden all ducking into the pits shortly after. This left O’Ward up front ahead of Dixon, Palou, Newgarden, Rossi, Ilott, Rahal, Lundgaard, highest rookie Agustin Canapino of Juncos Hollinger, Power, and Malukas.
