Rossi to take bigger risks in IndyCar title quest
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Alexander Rossi learned from a headline that Takuma Sato's team had absolved its driver of blame for an opening-lap crash that harmed Rossi's championship chances.
He refused to click. Had no interest in their version of the incident.
"I get the gist, but my opinion remains the same," Rossi told The Associated Press on Thursday. He insists Sato was egregiously aggressive at the start of Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway.
The crash sent Felix Rosenqvist to the hospital with a sore back and headache after his car flew into the fence, and Sato's car landed upside down on Ryan Hunter-Reay's crashed car.
