The trajectory that his career was on before the crash was a sight to behold. So much natural talent. He's been nothing short of inspiring since. I would love to see him at Indy again, as I am sure we all would!
David, your interview skills are beyond … someone BIG needs to hire you (only if you’re allowed the creative freedom). And to listen to Wicks talk about racing in such depth is fantastic. Well done.
Him and Kubica would both be feel good stories, but I think Kubica's bad wrist would be more a setback, with Wickens they can just set up his car with analog triggers on his wheel, running one handed at Indy would be rough.
@@PaperBanjo64 I'm guessing IndyCar steering effort at the Speedway is lower than anywhere else on the calendar due to the high speeds. That being said, a full 200 laps (plus manuvering in and out of the pits and weaving under yellow to clean/warm the tires) might be too big of an ask, even if the car had power steering.
Back in the days of CART Alex Zanardi was able to drive an Indycar at race speed on an oval even after losing his legs. Enough people had the will and finances to make that happen then, so there is precedent.
I cannot tell you or express to you how high a steam I held this man from the beginning of his career. He is just a good man that really loves to race right from the get-go. And he still holds that opinion with me. If anyone can change the way things are for disabled drivers he's the guy. Proud to say I have been a fan of his from the get-go and still am but I have no choice he's Canadian LOL
I have been a fan of IRL/Cart since the 80’s. When Robert started racing in IRL I decided to watch him specifically for that season. When he crashed I was sad that he was hurt so bad. I hope he can get an opportunity to race an Indy car again.
If Robert gets back into the Indy 500 and finishes the race (doesn’t matter where) that will be a bigger win than whoever wins the Indy 500 unless it’s him of course.
I met Robert a few years ago. He was sitting in the middle of a therapy table working with the therapist - I sheepishly asked if I could take a picture with them expecting him to just stay where he was. He transferred himself completely off the table into his chair and then talked to me for like five minutes, taking a picture with me he’s pretty solid dude. Been a fan since. My dream was always to be a race car driver and I had just got back into racing before my accident. Robert and I although vastly different share some similarities so in a way, I kind of see myself in Robert living vicariously in a way that I am unable to Due to the severity of my own physical disabilities and financial situation
Josef Newgarden should change his name legally Robert Wickens. It's one of the few ways I'd actually want to pay attention to him anymore. Anything Robert Wickens I love to hear or read or know about. Easy guy to root for.
I actually remember when Robert Wickens raced DTM the German English speaking commentators called him Robert Vickens and I was so used to that it took me until after he got hurt to call him Robert Wickens instead of Vickens.

Robert Wickens is my favorite Indy car driver. He was so good from his first race. Not only should he run the Indy 500 but a full-time ride for the year.
Robert Wickens and Bryan Herta could be the reason Hyundai enters Indycar as an engine supplier. Any company would be making a great decision to work with Robert, he is an incredible person.
Pocono wasn’t completely innocent though the cars were just too fast for that track in my opinion maybe if the walls were a little higher it would be different but with this crash and many others plus Justin Wilson’s passing a few years before they couldn’t race there anymore
@@loganborland5313the fact was the fans were not there either to the degree they wanted. I don't blame Pocono for his circumstances, nor do I blame the Dallara. The fact is he touched wheels and got launched. That could happen at Indy and nothing good happens when a race car gets launched. It is a crap shoot on how it turns out
@@marklittle8805 no but the Dallara chassis did fail to separate, but the attendance was very good at pocono that's why they kept it after Wilson's death
@@loganborland5313 well Justin Wilson had nothing to do with Pocono but I agree about the walls. Idk about top fadt for the track, we race at Indy and that's arguably the least safe superspeedway in America with it's tendency for square and backwards colisons
That would be cool! It's good that Indycar limited entries so that teams are more hesitant to take a risk to develop a car for Robby because he could only race once a year
There's at least two Canadian companies who could use all the goodwill that would come from financing Robert's quest. I'm looking at you Edward Rogers and Galen Weston. And on top of the goodwill, you would have Robert as a spokesperson for your company.
This would generate so much free advertising if Robert could drive in the 500.... Overdue make it happen. FWIW I have a daughter on wheels who doesn't care much for racing I think this would change that.
Articulate. A racer. As a sponsor why wouldn't you give him a chance? At the very least you would establish your brand. And sell some product. And as fast as he's been he might just contend. There is zero downside. America loves a comeback. It also loves a feel good story.
- ""For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king." (1 Samuel 15:23)
Just wondering why haven’t interviewed Taylor Hagler she won tcr championship back to back in her 2nd season was also the rookie of the year Sro Champion and won races in both series got a 2nd on the green hell in the 24 hours race so yea
Hey David, great job you do to help promote Indy Car. I mentioned a few weeks ago that Indy Car lacks passion like F1 brings out in people. Here's an idea that you could "drive" the passion bus and see if FOX copies. I love Indy Car, it just needs to be promoted with more passion to make all Indy Car races an "EVENT" not just a race. My idea is for you to create a short intro and outro music clip to your show. Find an exciting piece of music and clip video images from the historical beginning to current times or just current races. Here are a few examples: th-cam.com/video/N4PQ-vqNumc/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/vhEietCvldc/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1, th-cam.com/video/qvjLrX--cP8/w-d-xo.html
Safe to say all of Indy would be applauding if he ever made it back to the 500
I would lose my mind
I'd buy the diecast for sure!
I truly believe wickens would be a indycar champion right now had that crash not happened he was rapid that rookie season at every type of track
Yes he was a real talent.
100% lead pipe cinch!
He showed so much promise right out of the gate.
Might be the only one who could beat Palou
@@jbarber1016 Palou is beatable. His problem for his competitors is that he's consistent and is almost always in the Top 5 everywhere.
Robert wickens is a testament to the human spirit and an all-around badass.
Same with Zanardi
The trajectory that his career was on before the crash was a sight to behold. So much natural talent. He's been nothing short of inspiring since. I would love to see him at Indy again, as I am sure we all would!
To place Robert into an IndyCar would be a massive story. Great interview David. Can see why Hyundai invited you to come down and cover this race.
Thank you for this inspiring interview, David. Robert Wickens is amazing and most deserving.
David, your interview skills are beyond … someone BIG needs to hire you (only if you’re allowed the creative freedom). And to listen to Wicks talk about racing in such depth is fantastic. Well done.
Great interview! If he makes the 500 HUGE deal can’t express that more! IF he wins it would literally be the biggest deal ever in sports history!
Driver intro cheers would be so loud on Sunday if he got to do it...if he won the cheers would be even louder.
It would be so great to see him in the 500 again. What an inspirational story it would be. #wickens500
One more Indy 500? I’d like to see him go for 10 more Indy 500’s!
Him and Kubica would both be feel good stories, but I think Kubica's bad wrist would be more a setback, with Wickens they can just set up his car with analog triggers on his wheel, running one handed at Indy would be rough.
@@PaperBanjo64 I'm guessing IndyCar steering effort at the Speedway is lower than anywhere else on the calendar due to the high speeds.

@tomanderson6335 yeah as cool as Robert and Robert at the Brickyard would be I don't think Kubica could handle it
Yeah lets hope. He is a BAD ASS. Would love to see him in an Indycar again.
Love Wicky, it was awesome being at Road Atlanta last year when he won the TCR Championship. Hopefully he can at least get into GTD/GT3 racing
Somebody please put Robert into a GT3 car in DTM. That would be amazing to see him back there
Back in the days of CART Alex Zanardi was able to drive an Indycar at race speed on an oval even after losing his legs. Enough people had the will and finances to make that happen then, so there is precedent.
Hey Robert, keep at it. We are all pulling for you.
Such an Awsome guy and amazing driver. Go 🇨🇦 🍁. Thanks David
I cannot tell you or express to you how high a steam I held this man from the beginning of his career. He is just a good man that really loves to race right from the get-go.

Really good job David!
This needs to happen if at all possible
It would be so cool seeing Robert try the 500 or even get an opportunity to ride in a GTP/Hypercar at Le Mans or Daytona
Roger Penske, this needs to happen. Wicky at Indy with hand controls!
he might have to spend some money on indycar though.....
What A Freaking Comeback That Will Be!!! What A Hero!!!
Another great Indycar story that is still playing out 🫡
Oh a quick follow-up that was a great interview and thank you very much I really enjoyed it.
If Robert gets back into the Indy 500 and finishes the race (doesn’t matter where) that will be a bigger win than whoever wins the Indy 500 unless it’s him of course.
I would chip in to a Kickstarter to create a Wickens steering wheel.
Great job getting Robert on. Unbelievable talent. Hope you gets his chance at Indy he deserves it
Will always be cheering for you Robert! Always enjoyed watching you back in your formula
Renault 3.5/gp3 days. What a legend!
Much love to Bobby W. Great to see him racing.
Never been this early to a David Land video lol
I really hope he does get race the Indy 500.
I met Robert a few years ago. He was sitting in the middle of a therapy table working with the therapist - I sheepishly asked if I could take a picture with them expecting him to just stay where he was. He transferred himself completely off the table into his chair and then talked to me for like five minutes, taking a picture with me he’s pretty solid dude. Been a fan since. My dream was always to be a race car driver and I had just got back into racing before my accident. Robert and I although vastly different share some similarities so in a way, I kind of see myself in Robert living vicariously in a way that I am unable to Due to the severity of my own physical disabilities and financial situation
I also have been a fan of Johnson
That's a great interview 👍
He’s the guy. He needs that ride
What a story this would be!!
It's been awesome to see Robert race at the Nürburgring earlier this year and I hope he's coming back one day
What a nice guy
Robert has the drive and talent to help advance this adaptive technology for him and others.
Josef Newgarden should change his name legally Robert Wickens. It's one of the few ways I'd actually want to pay attention to him anymore. Anything Robert Wickens I love to hear or read or know about. Easy guy to root for.
Great interview!
Lets Go!
I would dearly love to see it, it would be hard to not shed a tear
I actually remember when Robert Wickens raced DTM the German English speaking commentators called him Robert Vickens and I was so used to that it took me until after he got hurt to call him Robert Wickens instead of Vickens.
If he won the 500 that would be the biggest story in indycar in this decade

I wonder if this system could be combined with Schaeffler's Space Drive tech to get closer to make it universally usable ...
what about the car zanardi drove in germany to finish the race laps. how did that work?
As a safetycar official.
He got an amazing wife.
Robert is a great person but i would be scared for him if he raced indy.
Did he ever run one? I thought it was his first year in Indycar when he dive-bombed RHR into turn 1 at Pocano.

Why didn't anyone try to enter Alex Zanardi in a hand controlled car at Indy?
I'd love to see him do Indy. It's too bad Rossi robbed him of his only win by ramming him out of the lead.
Just wondering why haven’t interviewed Taylor Hagler she won tcr championship back to back in her 2nd season was also the rookie of the year Sro Champion and won races in both series got a 2nd on the green hell in the 24 hours race so yea
Taylor Hagler
Attractive title for the video , but he is saying how difficult for this to happen
To come back to Indy whether he wins or not is kind of a Hollywood script.

Elon should get him the neuralink asap.
Hey David, great job you do to help promote Indy Car. I mentioned a few weeks ago that Indy Car lacks passion like F1 brings out in people. Here's an idea that you could "drive" the passion bus and see if FOX copies. I love Indy Car, it just needs to be promoted with more passion to make all Indy Car races an "EVENT" not just a race. My idea is for you to create a short intro and outro music clip to your show. Find an exciting piece of music and clip video images from the historical beginning to current times or just current races. Here are a few examples: th-cam.com/video/N4PQ-vqNumc/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/vhEietCvldc/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1, th-cam.com/video/qvjLrX--cP8/w-d-xo.html
