Why Dixon's Indy 500 defeat is bad news for his IndyCar rivals

After losing out on an Indianapolis 500 triumph that seemed in the bag for most of the race, Chip Ganassi Racing has moved on and refocused on the championship. And that should rightly have the rest of the grid worried

How does it feel for a team and driver to do everything right and still miss out on Indianapolis 500 glory? Autosport put the question to Michael Cannon, Scott Dixon's Chip Ganassi Racing engineer, after the five-time IndyCar Series champion lost the chance of a shootout to the chequered flag with now two-time Indy winner Takuma Sato.

"In Chip's team, we just say, 'OK, let's move on. Let's go and win the championship,'" he replies. "It's unfortunate how things transpired, but we can't change it now. Takuma Sato and Rahal Letterman Lanigan won the Indy 500. That's it."
