Colton Herta, the Andretti Global driver, had a strong performance at the 2025 Detroit GP, finishing on the podium in third place. Despite starting the race in pole position, Herta dropped a couple of spots during the race, ultimately conceding the win to his teammate Kyle Kirkwood. In the post-race press conference, Herta revealed the moment that allowed Kirkwood to overtake him.

Initially, Herta started the race in pole position, with Kirkwood in third. However, after the first pitstop, Kirkwood managed to jump ahead of Herta in the timing sheets. Addressing the media, Herta clarified that he actually came out ahead of Kirkwood after the first pitstop. It was a move by Arrow McLaren’s Nolan Siegel that inadvertently slowed Herta down and allowed Kirkwood to pass him on track.

During the race, both Herta and Kirkwood started on alternate tires and pitted early on, around lap 10. However, Siegel, who started on the harder primary tires, aggressively attacked Herta as he came out of the pits on cold tires. This encounter cost Herta valuable time and ultimately led to Kirkwood overtaking him.

Reflecting on the challenging nature of the Detroit GP, Herta highlighted the difficulty of the track, particularly with its bumpy surface. With 26 other cars on track, navigating the circuit without making mistakes becomes even more challenging. The race saw several retirements, including championship leader Alex Palou, due to the demanding nature of the track’s heavy braking zones.

Despite finishing in the Top 10, Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward expressed his disdain for the Detroit GP, echoing the sentiments of many drivers who found the track to be unforgiving and challenging.

The race highlighted the intricacies and challenges of street circuits like Detroit, where precision and skill are paramount. As the IndyCar season progresses, Herta will look to build on this result and continue to showcase his potential in the series.
