Marcus Ericsson came close to winning the Indianapolis 500 for the third time in four years but finished as the runner-up, expressing disappointment and pain at missing out on the victory. Despite starting ninth, Ericsson’s No. 28 Andretti Global team managed the race strategy well, placing him in contention for the lead in the final stages of the event. Ericsson led for 17 laps in the closing run of the race but was overtaken by eventual winner Alex Palou with 14 laps to go, struggling to make a race-winning move in heavy lapped traffic. The Swedish star reflected on what could have been, acknowledging that his inability to navigate the lapped cars might have cost him a shot at securing a second Indy 500 victory. Despite the disappointment, Ericsson recognized the positive aspects of his team’s performance and vowed to analyze his race decisions to learn from the experience and improve for the future.
