Alex Rossi and Conor Daly are IndyCar drivers, roommates and now teammates on the upcoming season of The Amazing Race, so its no surprise that spending that much time together led to some fighting during filming.
We argued all the time. It could either look like we really hate each other or we resolve our problems really quickly, Daly, 26, told Page Six. Were just so competitive well be angry, but in 10 seconds well be like, OK, cool, we did that, lets go.'
He added, I think its just our sheer competitiveness and our frustration with the lack of information around us because [IndyCar] racing is so much about being prepared, having as much knowledge as possible and in [The Amazing Race] you have no preparation, you have no knowledge of anything and you just kind of gotta do it.
Rossi told us that despite the disagreements along the way, he wouldnt have done better with anyone else as his partner.
We kind of complemented each other very well, said Rossi, 26. His strengths are kind of my weaknesses and vice versa.
Rossi says the worst part of the whole competition for him wasnt the physical demands of the challenges, which they were both well-prepared for, but the fact he couldnt listen to music.
You forget how much music is a part of your daily life and to have that completely taken away was probably the hardest part, more than my phone being gone, he said. Just being in silence for that many hours a day.
For Daly, the hardest part of the competition was being without his phone, especially since he came home to some hard news that hed been dropped by his racing company and may not be able to race in the 2018 season.Not really something I expected, but thats part of our sport, Daly said. Theres still time. Were still in the off-season, Im still a free agent.
He added, optimistically, In the end it all pays off, it all works because it was worth doing.
Rossi and Daly first met in 2007 at a race and lived together while competing in Europe.
The Amazing Race premieres Jan. 3 on CBS.
