Marco Andretti, Andretti Green A1, A1 Team USA:
“For us, not being able to get on track at all on Friday put us behind, for sure, especially when we’re still trying to close the gap on the experienced teams that know these cars better than we do. We still have a lot to learn about how to find the speed we need in this package.
“We’ll just have to take what we’ve got and try to run two smart races tomorrow.”
