The new life of Simon Pagenaud – INTERVIEW

The new life of Simon Pagenaud – INTERVIEW
ADVERTISEMENT

You left the august Team Penske and its 18 victories in Indianapolis this winter to join the ambitious Meyer-Shank stable. What is the difference ?

There are many ! (laughs, editor’s note.) Penske is a bit like Real Madrid: when you arrive, you adapt to the system. I am someone who is very interested in technique, who likes to be involved in the development of the car. This is the role I now occupy within this young team. Meyer-Shank only has three years of Indycar experience, it’s up to me to bring what I’ve learned. The team has almost the same resources as Penske. But there are a lot of procedures to put in place, things that weren’t explored yet because you had to build the team. It’s super interesting!

In Indycar, all the teams run the same chassis (Dallara), but you’ve gone from the Chevrolet engine to Honda. Is it a radical change?

The Chevrolet engine has more high-end power and the Honda has more low-end torque. But the performance on a lap of the circuit is almost the same. This is what makes the championship interesting. We all have the same chassis, the same aero, the same tires. It’s up to the teams to get the most out of it. Indycar has a mentality geared towards the partnership between driver and engineer.

With Peugeot, you had finished 2e at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011 (13 seconds from victory, editor’s note). Will we see you again soon in the Sarthe?

I hope so, even if I don’t know today with what program. It’s a race that is close to my heart. Every morning, when I wake up, this second place at Le Mans irritates me (laughs, editor’s note)!
