Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Christian Lundgaard achieved his third career podium finish at the 2024 Sonsio Grand Prix on the Indy road course, which he deemed as the minimum goal for him and the team. Lundgaard seized the lead from polesitter Alex Palou at the race start, led for 35 laps, and secured third place behind Palou and Will Power, but ahead of Scott Dixon. Despite the success, Lundgaard expressed being “happy to be disappointed” as the team aspired for a win. He reflected on the team’s strategic approach at Barber and Long Beach and the challenge of tire choice during the race, opting for primary Firestones over worn alternate tires. Lundgaard acknowledged Palou’s outstanding performance and speed throughout the event.
