Rosenqvist and Rossi could be teammates soon. Not quite the same,” Rossi said, “but it’s a shame.” “I wasn’t the one doing the overtaking last week. It was a similarly aggressive move to what Rossi did in wrecking teammate Romain Grosjean at Mid-Ohio - though not in Rossi’s opinion. Rosenqvist tried to pass Alexander Rossi just past the midway point, diving low going through a corner and forcing the Andretti Autosport driver into the outer wall.
