ETA: In 2 tweets to me just now, Alexander Rossi says a USGP announcement indicated in the Road & Track story never happened, that the article is untrue, and that he never submitted such a quote. More info as we get it.

@AlexanderRossi: @Austin_F1 I do not know where this information has come from, but as there has been no announcement, please remove this from the press ASAP

@AlexanderRossi: @Austin_F1 I also have not submitted or approved that quote and do not know where this false information has come from. Thank you.

@Austin_F1: @AlexanderRossi It's not from us. It's from Road & Track Mag's blog. bit.ly/VBeqS2 I have no way to remove that.
