Graham isn't helping the RLL team at all. He has never been a great driver, but he did benefit from decent cars up until recently. I stated the Indy 500 cars were bound up set up wise and the in car race cams proved it. The fast cars were going down the straights with the steering wheel very close to 12 o'clock. Some, like RLL were at 1 o'clock, which is not unusual for a smaller oval.

If the Foyt cars can come from nowhere then RFF needs to throw away their set up book and find the new settings.

I don't know much about Lundgaard, but Harvey has been a back marker since his debut. So RLL ought to change that roster too. And at that, it will take a year to come forward if they can. Meanwhile everyone else will learn and progress so RLL has to come forward 2 years in one season. Or sell the team and go sports car racing.

I think the writing on the wall was clear enough when Legg qualified better than 3 other cars.

I'll leave it at this, Graham and Marco made more bonehead mistakes in their time and Marco was smart enough to know when to step out.
