Mick Schumacher IndyCar nightmare after crashing at the same place TWICE
Mick Schumacher’s IndyCar debut at Long Beach was marred by two separate crashes at the same spot on the track.
After joining the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team in 2026, Schumacher has faced challenges in the opening races of the season, including failing to complete a single lap at St. Petersburg.
Despite showing promise with a P4 qualifying at Phoenix, issues with a broken pit gun led to a disappointing 18th place finish in the race.
Subsequent rounds at Arlington and Barber also resulted in poor finishes for Schumacher, with placements of P22 and P24, respectively.
At Long Beach, Schumacher encountered further difficulties during practice sessions, ultimately culminating in a 21st place starting position for the race.
