I fully suspect his goal is an Indy 500 win and that part of that is an understanding that a full time ride in IndyCar can do nothing but help him to achieve that goal. Plus, being good and in a good car is no guarantee for a win at Indy. So he may realize that it may take awhile to accomplish. Better to start now.

He maybe unhappy about the predictability of F1 but IndyCar can equally be quite unpredictable and frustrating. Just because you're on pole doesn't guarantee a race win as much as it does in F1. There are more variables as there are fuels stops, as well as tyre stops and if a Full Course Yellow comes along at the wrong time, a driver can find themselves at the back of the field. However, the racing is a lot closer and I'm sure he is relishing the challenges of racing in IndyCar, especially those different ovals.
