Detroit is brutal for drivers. It’s fast, narrow, unforgiving—and Ferrucci thrives in that chaos. Last year, he muscled back to a ninth-place finish after getting caught in a first-lap wreck and receiving a stop-and-go penalty. “This track, it’s insane,” he said. “You gotta be eyes wide open from lap one.” We also talked about this year’s big change: the introduction of IndyCar’s new hybrid power units at the Indianapolis 500. “Man, it’s difficult. You’ve gotta be on your game,” he said. “The car is looser than it’s ever been. When you turn the boost up and take the downforce out, it’s getting a little sketchy now.”
