Wickens and Hinchcliffe acting out 'Days of Thunder' is a true gift
DEC 03, 2018
Though our race stewards couldn't come to an agreement, one thing is clear: Robert Wickens and James Hinchcliffe are an absolute treat.
The Schmidt Peterson Motorsports teammates put together a reenactment of a "Days of Thunder" scene in a way only they could. It starts when Hinchcliffe's wheelchair collides with Wickens'. This is where the disagreement begins.

We should expect antics like this by now. It's not the first time these racers have acted up.

They close the video with a fist bump. So, we're sure Hinchcliffe will remain at the side of his Canadian teammate as he recovers. Long live the Eh Team.
