Last offseason, Arrow McLaren grew by 40%, with several additions to personnel that included the likes of former Andretti Autosport driver Alexander Rossi in the newly-added third car. While the new hires helped grow the numbers to fill roles, many came in without previous experience in the sport.
Despite that, though, all three entries – fourth with the Indy 500-only effort – delivered a respectable output. Pato O’Ward scored seven podiums, including four runner-ups, to finish fourth in the championship. Rossi, who was also adapting the Chevrolet powerband, had one podium and six top fives to finish ninth in the overall standings. Felix Rosenqvist claimed two podiums, four top fives and two poles to finish 12th by year’s end.
