On Thursday, Marcus Ericsson from Andretti Global crashed during practice for the Indianapolis 500, losing control of his No. 28 Honda after dipping below the white line in Turn 4. This incident mirrored a similar crash by Linus Lundqvist from Chip Ganassi Racing earlier that day at Turn 2. Lundqvist’s left-front tire went below the white line, leading to a wall-banging spin, but his car had minor damage compared to Ericsson’s. Ericsson hit the SAFER barrier and the inside wall before stopping on pit lane. He expressed disappointment and apologized to his team for the incident. Despite being released from the infield care center, Ericsson will need a new car assembled by his crew for Friday’s practice.
