Schumacher’s IndyCar Debut Crashes Out on Lap 1 in St. Pete
Mick Schumacher’s IndyCar debut for Rahal Letterman Lanigan ended on the first lap of the St. Petersburg season opener after a Turn 4 collision between Sting Ray Robb and Santino Ferrucci forced Schumacher to retire; starting 21st, he couldn’t avoid the incident, and Robb received a 30-second penalty. Schumacher cited poor qualifying for putting him back in the chaos, but remained optimistic and said he’ll learn from the weekend as he moves on to Phoenix and the rest of the IndyCar season.
