. GPLongBeach runner-up RGrosjean rues inability to use push-to-pass boost in what was a fuel mileage final stint IndyCar
Long Beach runner-up Romain Grosjean was left rueful, as the lack of a yellow flag in the last stint made it a battle over fuel mileage so he couldn’t use push-to-pass boost.The Swiss driver, who took pole in St. Petersburg, started third in Long Beach and was closely tracking his pole-winning Andretti Autosport teammate Kyle Kirkwood for most of the race.
“Kyle has done an amazing job in qualifying and again in the race. I mean, he didn't make any mistake in front of me. Couldn't use any of that. “It sucks. I just wanted to push the button and I wasn't allowed to. I would lie if I said I wouldn't have loved to be on the top step of the podium today, and I thought I had a chance. Just the way the race turned out and the fuel situation was, it wasn't possible.
Grosjean made his second and final pitstop a lap after middle-stint leader Newgarden’s, to keep the team in the hunt should a yellow fall and favor the early-stoppers. Grosjean produced a great in-lap and emerged in front of the Team Penske driver, but Kirkwood who had been running ahead of him went a further lap, and jumped both to regain the lead he had held through the opening stint.
