Canadian driver Hinchcliffe looks to rebound from disappointing 2017 season
TORONTO — Canada’s James Hinchcliffe started his IndyCar season with a bang and ended it with a whimper.
It was all part of the learning process for the 30-year-old driver from Oakville, Ont., who has completed seven seasons on the circuit.
“Man, 2017, I almost sum up as a downward slope,” he said Monday.
Hinchcliffe picked up his fifth career victory last April at Long Beach, one of three top-10 finishes over his first three races. But the season quickly got away from him and he settled for a 13th-place finish in the overall standings.
