Marcus Ericsson bekräftar att en felkalibrerad koppling orsakade hans motorstopp under Indycar-racet på Mid-Ohio för två veckor sedan.
Det inträffade elva varv in i loppet efter det första depåstoppet. Ericsson uppgav att problemet inte berodde på något eget misstag.

– När vi bytte ut den så var allt som vanligt igen, säger Marcus Ericsson.
