## Resource

Guenther Steiner warns that IndyCar is far tougher than people realize, especially for F1 drivers like Mick Schumacher, and that expecting instant success is naive. Comparing racing series to different track and field events, he stresses that IndyCar demands unique skills, not just speed. Even seasoned F1 veterans like Romain Grosjean haven’t thrived immediately, and Fernando Alonso’s Indy 500 struggles prove today’s motorsport is hyper-specialized. The challenge isn’t one-way—American stars like Colton Herta also struggle in European feeder series. Steiner’s blunt message: IndyCar rewards grit and experience, not just a change of scenery.
