Being forced to watch his rivals race was a new experience for Harvey.

He added: “I’ve never been in this situation before.

“I don’t have the words to express how absolutely devastated and gutted I am.”

However, Harvey is now plotting his return at the Acura Grand Prix in California on April 10.

“I’ll take the time to recover to make sure we’re ready for Long Beach,” he added.

Sunday’s race was won by Josef Newgarden.

Harvey finished 13th at the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg in February, the first race in the 2022 calendar.
