Will Power is another man

When the car red and black of Will Power (Team Penske) reaches the finish of the Monterey Grand Prix in third place this Sunday, September 11, Ron Ruzewski expects his radio to hammer his eardrums. The strategist of the Dallara No. 3 has the habit of lowering the volume on his headphones when situations reach the peak of intensity for his Australian driver. However, what he hears is not a cry for liberation. “ I can't thank everyone on the team enough, declares Will Power as calmly as possible, then in his deceleration lap. It was absolutely a team effort this year. You have made no mistake, I owe this second title to you. » This sincerely contrasts with the tears of Fontana eight years earlier, when he won his first coronation in IndyCar, or with his triumph at the Indianapolis 500 in May 2018. “ Respect me, motherfucker » he said with conviction on the radio. An insult that the live TV production was quick to cut! If these statements are anecdotal, they nevertheless prove the transformation of the pilot.
