P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Louis Foster has said his battle with Robert Shwartzman for Rookie of the Year “shouldn’t be a question” despite on equal points with the Prema driver.
In the 2025 IndyCar season, rookie Louis Foster confidently dismisses Robert Shwartzman as his competition for the Rookie of the Year title, citing his and Rahal Letterman’s consistent performance throughout the year.
Despite being tied with Shwartzman at 159 points in the championship standings post-Indy Toronto race, Foster asserts that his primary focus remains on winning races rather than solely competing against Shwartzman.
While Foster acknowledges keeping an eye on Shwartzman’s standings relative to his own, he stresses that his main goal is to secure victories and focus on the broader objectives of the team.
Foster’s emphasis on prioritizing race wins and the overall team performance indicates a high level of confidence in their abilities and downplays the significance of the Rookie of the Year title.
With Foster averaging an 18th place finish and Shwartzman claiming notable achievements such as the Indy 500 pole position, the Rookie of the Year race remains competitive but Foster remains steadfast in his pursuit of success beyond individual accolades.
