Santino Ferrucci, driver for A.J. Foyt Enterprises, has expressed concern for the team members after an intense period of competitions at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The series of events began with the Sonsio Grand Prix on May 8 and 9, followed by preparations for the famous Indy 500.
The team members have faced long days, starting as early as 4 a.m. and working well into the night. Although Ferrucci achieved a commendable eighth place in the recent Indy 500, the next commitment for IndyCar is the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix this weekend, which represents the fourth of five consecutive weekends of competition.
After Felix Rosenqvist’s victory at the Indy 500, which takes him on a celebratory tour, Ferrucci comments that he wishes the team could enjoy a week off. “It has been a bit fun preparing my bus all this time. Yes, I wish we had the week off,” he said in a conversation with the IndyCar press.
The 27-year-old driver warns that it is difficult to see the team working non-stop to prepare the cars for Detroit. “I understand that wanting to keep the momentum is important, but we also have to take care of our personnel.” Ferrucci achieved his best result in Detroit last year when he finished in second place, a memory he hopes to match or surpass at this upcoming event.
