Christian Lundgaard give his verdict on the delayed caution at Laguna Seca track

The Arrow McLaren driver Christian Lundgaard recently spoke about IndyCar's delay in throwing in the caution during an incident with Rinus VeeKay. During the race at the Java House Grand Prix of Monterey held at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca track on July 27, Andretti Global driver made contact with he Dale Coyne Racing driver Rinus VeeKay.

This sent the Dale Coyne Racing driver into the runoff area at Turn 2, and he sat under local yellow until race control threw in a caution. While in the post-race interview, Lundgaard was questioned about his thoughts on the delayed caution. He said:

"I think there are pros and cons to it in a sense. I mean, I was definitely driving around thinking, why is there a car sideways -- well, technically backward going into the corkscrew, and we're green for two laps? Yes, there's a local yellow, but if someone isn't really paying attention, changing a switch on the steering wheel, it can go terribly wrong."

"The one with VeeKay in turn 3, I think, was more fair in a sense because you see him parked in the gravel. You're not really going to end up there unless you really aren't paying attention. I think INDYCAR, in a sense, has been consistent with that. Not necessarily to say that I agree with it, but I do appreciate that they are consistent with it," Lundgaard added

Christian Lundgaard currently sits in fifth place in the drivers' championship with 357 points to his name.
