Meyer Shank Racing’s Helio Castroneves driver of the No.06 AutoNation Honda says that he is excited for the start of the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season this weekend in St Petersburg with the Firestone Grand Prix presented by RP Funding.
Speaking to Paddock Eye ahead of the race this weekend, Castroneves said that it helps that he is working with a team-mate in Simon Pagenaud that he knows and works well with following their time together at Team Penske and that it is extremely beneficial to have the Frenchman at the team given that Castroneves has been away from full-time NTT IndyCar Series competition for three years.
Castroneves told us that while the circuit in Sebring where testing took place week is completely different to the streets of St Pete that both he and Simon Pagenaud are confident that they can bring that momentum forward for this weekend’s Firestone Grand Prix presented by RP Funding and hopefully deliver a strong result for Meyer Shank Racing to start the season on.
