Felix Rosenqvist has highlighted the challenging nature of pushing IndyCar cars to their limits in order to find the safe limit.
As he gears up for his eighth year in the series, Rosenqvist has experienced the evolution of the DW12 chassis, which has become less nimble due to various changes.
The recent addition of a hybrid system in 2024 altered the car’s weight distribution, making it more difficult to maintain control at high speeds.
Drivers have noted a decrease in forgiveness when pushing the limits, with some experiencing sudden loss of control, often resulting in oversteer-induced spins.
During a recent preseason media event, Rosenqvist emphasized the struggle to strike the right balance within the current ruleset.
He explained that reaching the limit often requires pushing beyond comfort zones and driving in uncomfortable territory to achieve optimal performance on track.
