Andretti IMPLOSION - Rossi/Grosjean/Herta BEEF - Mid Ohio Race Review 

I don't know why Indycar doesn't leave the pits open under yellow. It makes the strategy mix up feel more like people got screwed then people played there cards well to get lucky.

Townsend Bell said “It’s mutiny at Andretti” and I couldn’t stop laughing for a solid 5 minutes

Kyle and you make a good team, should think about making this a permanent segment of the show

My first time at Mid-Ohio and it was amazing from sitting in thunder valley for practice and qualifying to turn 4 and 5 today, absolutely spectacular. Will power was the big winner under the delayed yellow call as it seemed he was still was on pit road when it was called allowing him to jump the mid pack and from there his car was good enough to make moves. Scottie Mac was absolutely perfect watching him manage the gap against Palau and never stepped a foot wrong

Rossi looked like he was looking for an early exit from the Andretti team.

I have NEVER understood why IndyCar doesn't implement slow zones. They have the pit speed limiters and there's nothing preventing them from using those on the track. And totally agree; I'm a CART purist as well. The closing the pits is a NASCAR trick and I don't know why IndyCar does it.

No talk about Logan Sargeant winning the F2 feature race at Silverstone. He is now the first American to win a feature race in F2.

I agree, I don’t remember that much dysfunction in a single team for a single race. And, I’ve been watching for more than 50 years.

I absolutely HATE flies. But I would have done anything to be a fly on the wall at the AA debrief at MidOhio.

As a Rossi fan, I was a little disappointed in his actions today. It’s like his failures over the past couple years all came out and he took them out on his teammates

So I made my first trip out to mid-Ohio today, that was awesome. I sat in the keyhole and yeah it looked like rossi just drove Grojean off, because rossi just drove away from it. Herta’s incident was also right in front of me and that was exciting

This will be a fun comments section.

Andretti autosport problems began at the top. With Michael, He has got his hands into way too many things. This team is stretched way too thin. There is a reason this team hasn't a title in 10 years. He losing Rossi at the season's end, and Herta might be next to leave. Arrow Mclaren is going to leap over Andretti in fact they already have jumped over them.

Ericsson had a good recovery for P6 to keep the championship lead after a poor quali session so I'm happy

DeFrancesco was the only one that didn’t have a beef moment for Andretti

I think Andretti might need to get sponsorship from Arby's... BECAUSE WE'VE GOT BEEF!

Teammate on teammate action is great but when it goes wrong no one looks good

When Rossi took Grojean into the wall in the keyhole, the initial contact ripped the steering wheel out of his hands. That is why he went straight. Now, he DID push him a bit wider prior to the contact, but after was due to the steering wheel.

Feel really bad for Pato today, he's been having some really bad luck lately. Rossi was just completely out of control. Andretti can at least feel good they're swapping him out for Kirkwood next season. And yes, that holding the yellow is BS. Hinch brought that up on the broadcast how that decision put McLaughlin in the lead due to not having to deal with a slower outlap on cold tires.

If you're going to hold the yellow tell everybody pits you must hold it one more lap so the leaders suffer on their outlap just as much as everybody else.

I’m just pissed the Newgarden got screwed by IndyCar’s weird “don’t throw the yellow until everyone pits, thus ruining the short pit strategy” policy.

Your channel is getting to be the best to watch!! I hope you do more of these live broadcasts!

PT and Dario at Team Green crashed together a few times (all Paul's fault). I completely agree about closing the pits, as does former IMSA owner/driver Rob Dyson. I believe it was begun by USAC in the 60s or 70s because, before electronic timing & scoring, maintaining an accurate running order when drivers pitted under yellow at random times was a nightmare. But we have transponders now, so there is no need to continue doing this, except for a reluctance to change.

I really thought Johncock had the win here but that blocking by Dallenbach and Lloyd Ruby was uncalled for. Pole sitter Sneva chose the wrong rubber and he easily lost the lead to Dick Smothers for 5 laps until he was taken by Leonard and McCluskey

This is the one and only race I can reasonably get to in person, was a wild ride for sure! Love your content, keep it up!

Today was the first time in a while that F1 was more exciting than indycar, in my opinion of course

In another topic look at David Malukas. He had a great performance. He stayed out of trouble and ran a good race for a top 10 finish. At this rate I imagine he will catch the eye of other team

Hey David, I was the guy you met at the grandstands with the Colton Herta shirt on. Just wanted to say it was awesome meeting you dude!!

As usual you've got it covered. Agree with every word. Can't say this season lacks for excitement! REALLY appreciate all the drivers making themselves available to you.

Rossi lost grip on the steering wheel when they touched wheels. That's why he went straight off the track with grosjean. Caution timing really bugged me today (again). Palou seemed to get screwed by the yellow timing a couple times, once when he was about to blow past McLaughlin coming out of the pits and another when he was side by side with him. And then after Indy the last two years taking strong cars out of contention, I agree that cautions philosophy needs changed: keep the pits open unless there's a legitimate reason to close the pits and throw the yellow once it's determined it is needed.

Ok, my take is: Andretti as a whole is broken. This is a super team with little to show for it. Grosjean is very aggressive, but aren't you supposed to be in racing? Wrecking ball Rossi has already checked out of Andretti Autosport and is looking for greener pastures at McLaren. Herta is the only bright spot, but very inconsistent, and Devlin is worthless in this sport. The real problem lays with Michael Andretti. For some reason he can't get those Penske results and it has a lot to do with dedication and focus. If Grosjean just qualified better, maybe he would not be in the pisition he is in. Desperation fucks with the head and Romain needs to get his head in a better place. Drop a car next year and focus like Penske.

Like to be a Fly on the wall at the Andretti Debrief

I'm with David on the yellows & closed pits thing. I'm also (as a purist) not a fan of red flagging races at the end, like this year's 500. I love a close finish as much as anyone but, for godssakes all of this manufacturing close racing is the crap of NASCAR and I think selling out their integrity for close finishes at all costs has contributed heavily to their decline.

Two things come to mind Rossi (favorite driver) has simply checked out that’s a given he’s frustrated annoyed inconsistent with the team it’s just a mess now . Second Andretti motorsports at a glance is not really putting a lot of focus let’s not kid ourselves there trying to get into F1 . The results are not there and haven’t been there for the last three years . There head is somewhere else and it isn’t on INDYCAR right now. That’s just my take on what I see.

The Andretti beef could be serious at Iowa too. Short tracks breed contact.

Rossi lost control of the wheel in the keyhole. That’s why it looked like he went straight off.

I'm 75 years old, and for what it's worth, (and it ain't much), I like listening to you to young ****s. You've got a good balance between a bull**** artist, and a wise guy with a- "but then, maybe not". Cassidy and Sundance? Who cares, that was a movie, and this is real life. I appreciate that you're not afraid of shooting your mouth off. Eventually you'll figure it out for yourself, and it'll be more than just a style choice, "an influencer", but a heart-burning-gut-bomb-slow-burn-realization-that: "It's not about me." Don't try to entertain your viewers, listeners, subscribers- entertaining bored people is like looking for an ocean to piss in. Write your scripts, when possible- OCR, dictaphone or not, write! A journalist is not a machine gun. He/She/They/Them/It is a sniper. Thank you! Laugh Your ***off! Peace, OUt.

Forgot about the championship leader going from p13>p6?

Today was my first visit to Mid-Ohio. It's a great track and relatively small enough to easily get around pretty quick on foot. I went to Road Atlanta in the late 90s I seem to recall. You needed a Sherpa in order to get anywhere efficiently.

I was there and it was a fun weekend.

Andretti has fallen so far from the Kannan Franchitti Wheldon and Herta days

Mid Ohio is an underrated awesome track.

Marco Andretti and Ryan Hunter-Reay had a better race in the SRX @ Stafford than Andretti Autosport had today. Rossi vs Grosjean, Herta vs Grosjean, and Rossi vs DeFrancesco is the contact I saw not counting Shank. Andretti Autosport needs to get it together. I wish they just brought Kirkwood from their Indy Lights team this year to the 27. I'm not ready for the Streets of Toronto exclusively on Peacock. Team Penske as an organization is clearly the team to beat this year but the competition is close.

God what rossi was doing in this race 🤦‍♂️

DONT FORGET THE HEAT!!! fucking dying

I think grosjean has gotten shafted this season in multiple situations. He was not at fault today

Hi David !!! big fan of the channel So you coming to my hometown of Toronto in 2 weeks gunna be a mega show !!!

I love wheel to wheel racing and some rubbing, but not what happened at Andretti today. Both are too talented to be doing this stupid stuff.

Biggest issue with today is the slow yellow for Kirkwood and Tatiana, especially Tatiana as her car was extremely slow down the straight and should’ve been called like Rosenqvists which was an immediate yellow

The replay clearly shows the wheel get knocked out of Rossi’s hands. It’s extremely easy to see.

I am an Andretti fan, and I was excited about the possibility of Andretti Global F1 but I think his distraction the last couple years with this has lead to his Indy team being in pieces. Its been a mess the last couple of years, the cars are fast but more inconsistent than they usually have been in the past, they have been having multiple issue's with pit stops and weird strategy calls at times the last three years or so and its seems like ever since Herta joined that they have had a problem with focusing on anybody else beyond Herta and it feels like its a free for all with the remaining drivers and their pecking order. Andretti needs to look to home and clean up this mess in his team before he worries about F1 or anything else in my opinion. In the end I don't give two shits about an Andretti F1 team if his IndyCar team is going to implode in the process, lets be honest it will probably be a long time and possibly never for his F1 team to be a winner if he gets his way and they let him in, but he already has one of the best teams car wise on the grid in IndyCar but all the lack of cohesion and direction will change that quickly. Not to mention all this strife and disorder is playing right into the narrative guys like Toto Wolfe are putting out there about a new F1 team needing to be stable and prepared, Andretti Autosport is looking like anything but that right now. How can they keep looking so good in practice and have such a big budget to not get more results than they have and now they have all their drivers at each others throats and seem to have little ability to control it.

Grosjean is fast and thinks he's better than everyone, and Rossi is a hot head and has something to prove/nothing to lose. Keep them away from each other

0:47 That was quick David! LOL

Pato was saying his issue was a fuel delivery issue. He was loosing power before the engine just cut out.

Scott McLaughlin is the best driver coming through! Period .

To quote Moonhead, "WE HAVE GOT BEEF, BY GOD!"

Something tells me Guenther Steiner is having a chuckle right about now.

Shame Sky Sports categorically failed in their Indycar “broadcast” today. The last five laps only? Just because the F1 was delayed… Looks like we missed an interesting race on account of this video’s title.

0:37 all great reports start their analysis with "Well I mean" *sarcasm*

Andretti Autosport has gone downhill over the last 3/4 years. They've cost Rossi a shot at a further 2 Indy 500 titles. Colton Herta hasn't lived up to the hype this year as noted by his current standings in the points. Andretti needs to focus on their baby and that's IndyCar.

Congratulations to Scott McLaughlin,Team Penske and Chevrolet. Bummer for...Arrow McLaren SP. Sounds like trouble in Andretti land.

I love how everyone tries to rag on Grosjean. It’s ALWAYS his fault from any American perspective

Ok so Marco put on a Rossi mask and went nuts today did he mark everyone he hit as Eddie Cheever ! Way pass time to pull the plug at Anddretti Racing this team hasn't been the same. Since Dario left and no I don't like Roman Salad if somebody could tame Herta think of how many races and championships he could win . I'm not hating but sad to see a team like that implode

The Grosjean at Coyne was the Grosjean that scored points for Haas F1 on their debut. The Grosjean at Andretti is the Grosjean that crashed into teammates and cried on the radio every time someone dared to race him in his last couple of F1 years.

Rossi and Grosjean are literally my two favorite drivers, and this was ugly. Blame definitely has to lay on Rossi for this one. The Grosjean Herta thing was just a tiny racing incident by comparison. I love seeing Rossi drive angry, but not ugly, and then doing it to Devlin, too? Not cool.

D’oh! Finally subscribed!

I don’t know why people are surprised that Grosjean keeps running into people in IndyCar. It’s what he did in F1 and it’s one reason he no longer has an F1 ride. He’s quick but his aggression turns into stupidity too many times on the track. Will Power is that way too sometimes, but he has toned that down this year and it’s got him second in the championship.

Hey baby, Michael has Kyle Kirkwood coming in next year. Wow. LOL.

If you have a driver stranded on the track throw the yellow. You must make the track safe. If someone looses it, crashes in to the disabled car and injures the driver; that would be a man-made tragedy. Do what you want with the pits, but make the track safe or don't. But, if you don't then you cannot say you believe in safety.

The only way I can think to settle the andretti fiasco is a triple threat hell in a cell match between Rossi, Grosjean, and Herta

Someone said, I didn’t see it, that the reason Rossi went straight and ran Romain off the track was the contact knocked the wheel out of his hands (or maybe he let go) Also, are you suggesting VSC’s in INDYCAR? Oh, and speaking of wrecking… XFINITY has a bad intentional wreck and Cup goes wreck free at RA!

I like grosjean despite results the guy is very likeable and gets you invested in rooting for him. I don’t like Rossi dude seems weird. That’s just my opinion.

Rossi appeared to lose the wheel out of his hands. Who knows if he let go or not, but it did not appear to be his true desire to drive straight. Excellent coverage this weekend.

Do Andretti have a problem with 3 of 4 drivers considering themselves the "lead" driver and thinking everybody else should support them? Grossjean in particular, having come from F1, would be used to there being such a hierarchy. Another possibility is that the drivers are feeling pressure to perform while the entire team has under performing - which could easily lead to frustration and thus both conflict within the team and excessive aggression.

Open the pits under yellow

If memory serves me, didn't Grosjean more often than not have contact with his teammate in F1? I didn't like him when in F1 because he not only had contact often, but most of the time it was with his teammate which took one of both out of the race.

Andretti need to hire a sports psychologist. That guy from the Metallica movie where they almost break up but magically come back together to make millions and millions of dollars happily ever after

Race wasn't boring... unlike this video.

Herta was pissed off as his crew gave him their "coded" message to pit and he missed it, flat told his dad "you gotta just tell me to pit..."

The old school don’t like Romain cause he’s quick. He has more credibility than everyone in that Andretti team combined and the vast majority of the grid. Show that man some respect. Whatever Rossi was trying to do there is disgraceful

Get moonhead on this now!

Rossi weel was yanked out his hands watch the onbord thats y he didn't turn away from the Frenchman

Grosjean had a record in F1 for hitting other cars. He was even banned after one race in Belgium.

Spicy.... How ya save the sport!!

For everyone giving Rossi a all the blame on this, check Grosjean's career in formula 1. He was always bumping off people, crashing, etc. That was his rep in F1 and he is demonstrating it in Indycar now.

"Remember in '15...." Was this kid even born in 2015?

The races should be red flagged after 3 laps yellow until they are ready to go. Keep the order of cars as of the position of the yellow flag. Too much of the races are run under yellow.

There is one common denominator with Grosjean, he pissed off most of the F1 grid with his driving and he is now doing the same thing in IndyCar, at some point it becomes obvious that Grosjean is the problem. He is incredibly aggressive and has a history of driving elbows out with teammates. This is a guy that spun out aggressively across the track a few years ago in an F1 putting the half the field at risk because he was too stubborn to take his foot off the car when he ran wide and lost traction and decided that his race and trying to keep going was more important than putting everyone else at risk behind him. There is no question he is fast, which is why people keep giving him chances. The only team mate I don't remember him having problem with was Kimi at Lotus.

I saw IMPLOSION and thought it was a Dr Steve Turley video🤷

Rossi just went HAM on the whole team today. Grosjean made a careless mistake vs. Herta, which he copped to immediately. Certainly not an equal blame situation, which is why Michael was zipping around on his scooter looking for Rossi after the checkered. Michael should really think about parking Rossi for a bit. Moreover, Hinch caping for Rossi in the booth today was a little seedy.

I feel instead of Rolling Start ,,They Should Do Stop Starts Like F1,, That way they have to Jockey for Postion and Drive More carefully to obtain Postions and and over come The Stop- Start ,The Corners and Really Test their Skills around the Track , cause anything can Happen , With more Driver Surprise, s . More Back offs to Keep cars in one piece ( I could be wrong there ) but aggressive Driving would be Pentalized for not backing off or points Deducted , Causing Crash,s , So they Have to drive safer and Waste Less Money for the Car Owners and Race teams ,, and Points added For Safest Driver During the Race ! WHAT DO YOU GUYS Think ??

Ganassi is killing it (outside of Jimmayyy on road courses obviously), and Penske is killing it everywhere except for the Indy 500. The 3rd team in the "Big 3" Andretti is on a downward trajectory for sure, and AMSP is on an upward one. I'd say if Andretti doesn't get their you know what together, the 3rd team in the Big 3 is going to be McLaren starting next year. Today's blowouts aside, McLaren keeps getting better at tracks they have been historically bad or mediocre at, and are maintaining good results at the tracks they're good at. Andretti on the other hand isn't delivering the results they should be where they're best (street courses) and getting worse in terms of average results across the board. You have the Rossi slump, Herta chokes from the lead, Grosjean agressiveness and not qualifying well, and pay driver Devlin crashing and not being that great overall. What will absolutely seal the deal for the Andretti downward trajectory is if they lose Herta to F1.

We need more of you two. I bet Penske and Ganassi are laughing their asses off on Andretti. Send Roman and Colton to either NASCAR or to figure 8 racing.

Andretti Autosports - Pinball Wizards.

Looks like Rossi's bitter taking out Grojeans like he did, although you're leaving you shouldn't play those games. Actually, if he was playing football,... he'd be out for the season!...Same team doesn't matter, he's leaving.

Kyle? Are you sure he isn't Sammy Guevara, to me they look the same... :D :D :D

Holy Will Power 💪

McLaughlin was handed the win, this should be the hot topic. Hinch said it right during the race

Been giving Rossi the benefit of the doubt for years now, yes he has had some rotten luck but I’m starting to think he is entering the “Daniel Ricciardo Effect” where his reputation and past performance is covering up his actual inadequacies. I’m starting to think he just isn’t that good anymore.

Dude do some undercover work on Andretti motorsport and report back.
