No radio, big problem for Scott Dixon in second-place INDYCAR finish at St. Pete

street. Petersburg, Florida – Scott Dixon I couldn’t hear his crew during Indycar The opening of the season Sunday in St. Petersburg.
In some racing chain, this can be considered a safety problem. But for Kesson, he feels that he cost him the race.
Just imagine Qurtubbere does not know the play or basketball player does not hear the defensive switch. This is what the Indycar champion has treated six times in the 1.8 -mile street cycle.
Dickson watched his Ganassi chip race and the two-time series in the defense series Alex Palao in the race, and Dixon-a six-time chain champion-was heard of his crew, he could have incited an arms earlier, which is likely to be allowed to challenge Palu.
“You know when the car will run out,” Dixon said. “I didn’t know if they could hear me, so I was telling them that I just went to run to the light and see what is happening.
“Ultimately, I think for me, it was just a very long roll. I had to hit me, perhaps when I saw the ten car [of Palou] Next “.
His team owner agreed.
“If everything was 100 percent, he would have won,” Gansei said. “It was simple. He won the race. The race ended. It was one station to go, and we incited a bosom after we wanted it.
“This was the race. This was the difference between him and Palou.”
Indycar state “during all events on the path, radio communication between the driver and the hole box at all times.” Indycar says their sound track recorded bilateral contacts during the race, so Dixon did not have to drill.
Gansei said they could hear the matter entering and going out throughout the race. It is clear that it did not rise as an issue for Indycar (or she was not aware of this issue).
“He worked somewhat on warm -up rolls and a kind of the first ten, and that was about it,” Dixon said.
Communications are required on oval but not required in the road cycles and streets in Indycar. The teams still use dances, who buy tickets in some of the best sites in the course as much as you can see as much path as possible.
Dixon does not seem worried from a safety point of view, just from the point of view of information.
“I think when I caught [Alexander] Russian and perhaps [Christian] Dixon said: “There were no delegates, I did not try to ask about the number of rolls that they had to go before we could get some clean air and a kind of payment because it is very difficult to get a pass here,” Dixon said.
“Nothing of this information [got to me]. I just had to guess that it might have been five or six rolls compensated for us, which seemed to be the twenty [of Rossi] It was, but 7 [of Lundgaard] It was not. A few lashes went more. It makes it difficult because in particular with miles, for us on the IMSA side or the side of sports cars, you have a kind of good measure to understand your place-but with this thing you have no idea. “
