Former IndyCar racer and F1 test driver Rodolfo Gonzalez made a winning return to competition, after a long layoff. ⬇️
Gonzalez won the British F3 National class title with T-Sport in 2006, then raced in GP2 and tested for the Lotus/Caterham and Marussia F1 teams before a six-race IndyCar spell for Dale Coyne Racing in 2015. “I stopped because, for some time, I became slightly ill,” said the 36-year-old, who contributes to ESPN Argentina’s F1 coverage.“We had a deal to go IndyCar racing the year after with Dale; unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be medically fit so I had to stop.
“I lost all my sponsorship and then we had the bad crisis in Venezuela, so it just went downhill from there. “I was inspired by seeing [Fernando] Alonso come back to racing after a while off. [Robert] Kubica was a big inspiration, to see him after so long come back to racing. So I thought, ‘These guys are able to do it; why shouldn’t I? With enough training, perhaps I can do it.’”Having sampled the Praga R1 during last November’s MotorsportDays LIVE event, Gonzalez agreed to return in an Idola Motorsport-prepared car.
