Late Collision At The IndyCar Nashville Race | Romain Grosjean 

Sorry about this Romain, you should’ve been on the podium. Nonetheless a lot of momentum to keep pushing 👊🏻

Grosjean: running well all day, in contention for a podium Newgarden: the fuck you are

Romain, I've not commented to you before, but as a long term Indycar fan (I've watched the various incarnations of the series since 1973), let me belatedly welcome you to the series. I am glad you race in Indycar, and you make Indycar a better series. This was an unfortunate thing to happen. You were punted into the wall here. Nobody deserves this and it was a dangerous undertaking by Newgarden. While I'll say no-one is perfect, and all drivers occasionally have their moments, Newgarden's comments after the race both on NBC, and later on Twitter I think indicate that he either did this intentionally, or did it by mistake but tried to make it like you somehow deserved it. Either case is horrible and I think a lot of people are going to think less of him. Please know that despite any drivers bullying you on the track, that you just need to persist, and eventually other drivers will show you respect. Other new drivers in the series have had to overcome the disrespect that has been shown them before, but in the end, other drivers did come around. You already have a world full of fans who really enjoy you as a driver and think you're very kind to them personally at the track, so keep your head up high and keep up the good fight. I look forward to seeing you notch up your first win soon. Thanks for your daring, skillful abilities, and who you seem to be as a person.

It was an unnecessary risk to take on Newgarden's part. The fact that the race stewards took no further action is, frankly, embarrassing for the sport. Indy needs to tighten up what they consider to be clean racing. Otherwise, Indy will continue to be perceived as nothing more than open wheel NASCAR. This is a great sport with great drivers and it does a great job of distinguishing itself from F1 by way of budget, but Indy really should aspire to the level of quality of F1 in terms of racing clean AND quality of race courses (I'm looking at you, Nashville). This weekend was very disappointing. Nashville continues to be a poorly chosen street course and the amount of shithousery that the stewards allow is simply unacceptable.

Tough Break Romain...I was screaming at the TV when I watched it! Such a great weekend for you minus the ending. Can't wait for you to be on that top podium spot, it's coming! I've always wanted to know from your perspective, if you were going to host an F1 race in the US, which track would you pick from the indycar circuit?

I along with many many thousands of your fans was gutted, sick when that happened. You are a beast and at that track lets you shine. Keep it up my guy! peace to you and yours.

I don't know what's worse: the fact that you got knocked out from a good position, through no fault of your own, or the fact that other people and drivers are still taking this opportunity to pile on you and blame you on that. Very disappointing to see the way you get treated alongside the season. No driver is perfect, of course, but you seem to be pulling the short end of the stick undeservedly. I always have, and will admire your bravery and to push at places no driver would dare to do, because even if there's no guarantee it works out, if it does, oh is it satisfying to watch! Just keep racing hard, and still Rise like a Phoenix!

Newgarden has now taken the title of “The Torpedo” from Kvyat. You had a lightning fast car, all weekend long. Should have been first or second, brother. It’s coming. Patience will pay dividends.

that move you made into P5 was incredible! such a beautiful line in and out of the corner

I would like to comment on the way all the different ways the video was put together, I found that not only interesting but very entertaining. I’m a lifelong RaceCar fabricator (40+years) these types of videos NEVER get old. Finally, I’m just happy that you are in the series and are doing as well as you are. Many European’s come to Indy Car and cannot get up to speed on the Ovals and you have done such a fantastic job, WELL DONE!

I love these videos. Keep making them and keep fighting on track, Romain!

Such a bummer… beautifully driven race up to that point Romain!

Chin up Romain. You had a great qualifying and was having a good race. Unfortunately, it seems like you have a target on your back because of your popularity maybe. I hope you bounce back and looking forward to your next race.

2nd year, 2nd wreckfest race. Nashville Superspeedway is a half hour down the road, and there's space for more than 1 car on track there...

I can not wait to see you on the top step of the podium! Never give up! Your doing great! We're all behind you brother!

It sucks that it happened to you, man! You really deserved to be on the podium, but I feel like this track overall is just not suited to good racing and results in tons of crashes anyways. What do you think about Nashville as a track, as a driver?

Love the content this is the type of videos I been looking for now I gotta start watching more Indycar racing 🔥

I watched another channel reacting to your fireball crash and shortly after learned of your channel, much respect man I instantly subscribed

Don't worry Newgarden is "going to have a talk with the younger drivers" 😂

Gutted for you Mate. Keep your head up the results will come!!

So sorry you had that collision /shunt at the end. You looked like you were having a great day of racing up to that point. I really thought you had a good shot at a podium. Hang in there and keep fighting Romain. We are rooting for you!💪✊✊✊❤️💛🧡

Vous avez un pilotage magnifique grande finesse quel régal à regarder , dommage pour cette fois, mais les victoires sont à venir.. Merci Romain Grosjean

Fabulous pass on #8 Ericson! Brilliant driving, as per usual!!

I was watching for your position all race. Great job. A podium was in the cards today for sure.

even after he had wrecked out he was coming back into the paddock with his race engineer i assume i saw him and yelled out to him and he still turned to me smiled and said hey with a wave this is why romain is the best driver in the series

Every time I see this video and other on-boards, I can't help but think that you drive in such a respectful manner. You always leave enough space, you never cut anybody off, you do proper racing. Not this downtown New York cabbie driving that your fellow racers do.

It's so nice to see drivers posting and interact on RU-vid

That was a nice race, bad luck for both yellow flags, but you made some prety good overtacking and great management of Push to pass. Keep going the win will come soon. C'était une course sympa, pas de chance sur les mauvais drapeaux jaunes, mais de très bon dépassements et une très bonne gestion des push to pass. Ne lâche rien, la victoire va venir.

Great stuff, RG! Thank you for sharing.

B.S. Keep up the great work Romain. YOU are bringing fans to IndyCar!

Great race Romain! I love the way you race and your overtakes! Was just bad luck but I know another podium Will come and a win!

Utterly brilliant production 🙏👍

I hated to see it end that way, but that was some damn good driving and battles you were having.

I was fuuuuuuuuuummmmiiinngggg dude, it ruined my day. I can't imagine how pissed you were, but the momentum is there, keep pushing!

Hell of a race man! You did great.

Wow, it looked so bad on TV but the onboard makes it look even worse. There was a guy that did stuff like that all the time used to race, classic Paul Tracy move right there. Oh man Romain, you were killing it man, fast, making things stick that had the announcers impressed and figuring out a way you are on the podium those last few laps - I'm being honest when I saw, like an idiot was hollering at the TV like someone cared HAHA!!! Dude, you were in it all the way.

Man, not gonna lie, cars and tracks like these look such a fun combination!

"Finishing 16th" at the end made me laugh so much... sorry it was at your expense Romain

Amazing how Erickson kept it nice, tidy and clean in the clip* right before the Newgarden clip...

A heart breaker. I am cheering for you Romain!

That was a great race by you Romain! Started P2, passed many more guys than you got passed by. Yet somehow were not even close to P1 at that time. Second year in a row that a bunch of guys lucked their way into getting in front of you at Nashville. Seems that dive-bomber is the one struggling with it "gets tight". Can't race with other on the track. Guess that I am now glad that a few weeks ago I got to see dive-bombing NewGarden wreck himself out of the Iowa race when running P1, with my own eyes. You drove great back in Iowa too; especially that first race! Keep it up man!

Rahhhh ça saoule, il y a bien une différence entre bataille musclée et se faire mettre dehors - dans le mur (barrer selon la course grrr). Continue de nous regaler Romain 🔥🔥

Was so hoping for a podium finish for you. Keep your head up!

Stinks, Newgarden left you no room. Personally I don't like temporary circuits like this for this reason. You can drive clean and somebody comes along and just puts you into the wall. Leave that driving style for SST. 🙂

Romain - this sucks but there's nothing we can do about it now. You have many, many fans here in the U.S. and we know you are a superb race car driver and a great person as well. Your talent will soon rise to the top (it always does), so hang in there and remember we are always in your corner. Continue d'essayer!

Love these videos

I was so bummed man, you were having a great race

really cool video, wish there was more of this from drivers across all disciplines.

My son and I stayed up and watched in the UK, We were so disappointed with the result. The win is just around the corner :)

I love these videos. Great angle.

Hate to see it. Huge Grosjean supporter from US. Still relatively new to F1 and followed him here bc I’m a fan of his resilience. I’ll support wherever he races!!

Sorry your race ended that way. You were one of the guys to beat all day, I enjoyed watching you slice through that field 3-4 times. That circuit is so narrow, and everyone was pretty aggressive. It reminds of a lot of my races in iRacing, basically you are just trying to stay near the front but also stay out of crashes.

Great race Romain. So sorry that Newgarden took you out like that. You deserved a podium.

That's brutal. Keep at it and you will like the results.

Romain, brutal place for you to run out of brakes- but DAMN that was some nice driving, very cool to see you catch up to the cars ahead and then slide into that inside line, very cool to see you still killing it

Fantastic race Romain!! It was completely wrong to be put into the wall but you’ll get ‘em next race👍🏼👍🏼🏁🏆

You did everything right, just absolutely stunning performance. When you made mistakes it seemed like you always made up for them and had nearly the fastest pace the whole race. Really just unlucky, so unlucky, but an absolutely amazing performance on your part.

Romain, tu as vraiment fait une belle course, un peu malchanceux lors d'un arrêt au pit, mais le rythme était là, avec de beaux dépassements tout au long de l'épreuve. Je sais que tu avais gardé pas mal de Push to Pass pour les derniers tours (c'est toi qui en avait le plus dans le top 5) pour nous offrir à minima un beau podium bien mérité, mais ce dernier restart était délicat. On à bien senti que tu as voulu assurer la fin de l'épreuve, mais le destin en a décidé autrement. Surtout après ce forcing raté à l'intérieur qui ne t'as laissé aucune chance. Allez courage Romain, on lâche rien et on est beaucoup derrière toi ! ^_^

Well that circuit is terrifying, it's like someone saw the castle section of Baku and went "let's make an entire race like that"

I'm a very casual Indycar fan I must admit, (lifelong Nascar fan). But I gotta say its so cool to see these in car views. It really showcases how difficult, and what talent it takes to race around these tight street circuits. I feel for Romain, he drove a very clean respectful race.

Nice battles, you should be proud of yourself! You're settling in nicely in Indy! It's a good look for you.

What a race, it's awesome you can get this footage. Romain is there chance you can talk to NBC sports production and "suggest" to have them use PiP at the end of races so we can see the battles behind the leader. Every race last lap leader is up by 10 secs they get all the camera until the end and after. I get it but c'mon its 2022, use PiP, multiple PiPs so we can see the action behind the leader. Great race Romain! It's so awesome to see you in Indy! You like Indy better than F1? I do.

I cannot wait for your first Indy win!!!!

You were so good this weekend Romain it's a shame it ended the way it did 😔

You were driving like a beast!!!

Apart from losing a few places because of the pits, you were blazing the track out there. A lot of good overtakes! Tough luck on the collision on the end though.

Sorry Romain. I was just almost seeing you podium

I was really upset when this happened ! But I think your time is coming. I enjoyed the racing.

that was a rough one, hang in there my man!

Missed the start of the race, congrats on starting P2. Newgardens move was definitely aggressive. Bummer man, the car seemed to be running really well.

Damn, that’s a bummer dude. Very quick and clean all race and you get taken out like that.

I love the suspension on these things .. they look fast and angry and hard to control

Welcome to Indycar where what goes around comes around.

After a great qualifying, I was hopping you reach for a podium, but unfortunately some racers, in my point of view, didn't play this race fairly! Nonetheless you did a great job congrats!

Love the camera angles in Indy car racing

nice qualifying, love your channel... newgarden was reckless but Nashville is a demolition derby

Lâche rien Romain, sache que tu nous régales :)

amazing you're racing again

I was screaming when this happened. You deserved such a better result than this, and newgarden should be ashamed of himself not just for this ridiculous move but also his childish tantrums on Twitter last night. Onward and upward. Let's get that first win at Gateway 🤞

That double overtake was OP

Its a shame that he chrashed into you, you deserve to be on the podium. Awesome racing from you, you are the best!

All good work..getting there!

Brings back bittersweet memories

Dommage que la course se termine comme ça... ce n'est pas mérité. Mais tu es très talentueux ! Et je sais que tu vas en remporter des courses ! Me tarde de voir ta première victoire en Indycar ! Sur le Laguna Seca l'année dernière, la course était magique ! Force à toi Romain !

Glad to see next year’s Andretti lineup will get along as swell as the current one lol

Great race Romain, everyone supports you as shown in the comments. If the opportunity arrives, give Newgarden a goodwill gesture love tap until race control decides maybe its a good thing to have clean discipline racing.

Brilliant race up until then.

When you're too good, some people dont like you... Keep it up Romain

I love the camera positions. Much better than in f1 where everything is so dramatised

man this track looks insane. Hate to see it end that way.

Tuff to see you get squeezed into the wall. Amazing how tight the racing was and there wasn't more of it.

Ridiculous dive bomb, can happen into such a slow corner with an inviting geometry, but very ridiculous this didn't get any penalty. I guess you now know you can just push anyone into a wall if you are on the inside? If that's the IndyCar way I guess no reason not to do it ... Newgarden's reaction afterward was just childish embarrassment, some weird tough guy line instead of any level of apology ... sorry to say this race didn't endear me to IndyCar overall. F2/F3 have better driving standards than that (or at least the drivers know when to apologize for errors).

Great drives through the field.

That looks like a fun track

Is there a place to see/hear the onboards while the race is going on? F1 has them and I find it very interesting. Your the best! keep pushing!. I just want tp sot copilot from my house haha

That was GREAT COVERAGE. Ted

Man we need you in the F1 we miss you

You were so quick, such lovely overtakes, then to get taken out in such a blatant manner - that sucks

"All the time you have to leave a space!" - Fernando Alonso

You were on fire this race! Last time you were on fire was sakhir 2020!
