“[The car] Was talking to me and I felt it a bit, and I probably had to go back.

“But you try to complete a run to see how it feels and was it worth the risk? Probably not. I am incredibly sad.”

McLaughlin also admitted that the seriousness of the crash had taken his toll from his wife and family.

He added: “They are nervous about me.

“I wanted to get out of the car right away, so she knew it was good.”

McLaughlin is the third driver who suffers a serious crash while racing this weekend in Indianapolis.

Kyffin Simpson went in the air during Fast Friday, while Colton Herta crashed in Saturday’s qualification.
