2018 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach

Rossi maintained the lead position on the start. Will Power, who had qualified alongside Rossi on the front row, also held his position in second. Behind the leaders, Graham Rahal made contact with Simon Pagenaud, forcing the latter into the wall and out of the race. Rossi's lead remained at about 3.5 seconds from lap seven to lap 25, when he made his first pit stop. He would regain the lead after the other drivers made their own stops, holding it for most of the rest of the race. Rossi's victory moved him to the lead in the Drivers' Championship points standings, 23 points ahead of Josef Newgarden, who finished seventh in the race.[2]
