After the seventh date in Detroit, Agustín Canapino continues to surprise his team and even the great leaders of IndyCar like Josef Newgarden.
Agustín Canapino’s record so far has three results in the top 15 and marks history as one of the best rookies of the season, among drivers with more experience in cars like IndyCar.
Josef Newgarden was in an exclusive note to the media “The Race” and praised all the journey that Agustín Canapino is currently achieving in IndyCar.
In preparation for the Indy500, Newgarden emphasized that Canapino is simply amazing. In addition, he added: “I think most people wrote him off early and said he’s worthless in an IndyCar, and it’s exactly the opposite.
“It’s different from what he’s used to, he comes from a touring car which I assume has power steering, IndyCar has no power steering and a lot of downforce, which is different, the physical load you’re susceptible to is probably double. what I was used to.”
One of the reasons why the “Titan” from Arrecifes continues to surprise even his Juncos Hollinger Racing team is because of how easily he can adapt even in private tests. At the Detroit weekend, Agustín posted a 14th place finish and this was his second best result on a street course.
On the ovals, where Canapino had only one day of testing and practice before qualifying in Texas, he was able to show his reasoning and ease by taking 12th position, noting that he stayed in out of trouble and controlling his dizziness to improve his results. with, Canapino is likely to start a race just two places behind his teammate Callum Ilott.
The medium of “The Race” reflects every lap time and the entries and exits of each driver, calculating the average for those who do the whole season and, according to the numbers, Canapino is ranked 19 on the inside laps, which means he was better than eight other drivers, and 23rd on the outside laps, which is very difficult in IndyCar because you do it on cold tires (no tire casings) and a full tank of fuel.
In this way, the category shows that if you are a good IndyCar driver, regardless of your experience, you can have a great impact.
