Alexander Rossi extends contract with Andretti

Alexander Red will continue to evolve IndyCar within Andretti Autosport for the next two years. The winner of the 100th edition of the Indy 500 has been playing in the discipline since last year but is still seeking a second success after his incredible victory last year. The former Marussia driver will in any case be able to count on the support of his sponsor Napa Auto Parts who has also confirmed his presence.

“The transfer season is tricky for everyone, but I would like to thank Andretti Autosports, Napa Auto Parts and Honda for their support with the contract extension until 2019, comments Alexander Rossi. The progress made this year and the relationships built over the last two years provide the foundations for a very interesting future. »

Alexander Rossi will therefore continue to pilot a car motorized by Honda, Andretti Autosport having confirmed its partnership with Honda for the coming years.

“Alexander is a superb ambassador, both on and off the track. He has proven that he is a real competitor even though he only has two years of experience,” adds Michael Andretti.

Alexander Rossi is in 7th place in the Championship, 125 points behind leader Josef Newgarden with four top 5 finishes to his credit.
