Earlier this month, in the wake of his win at Barber Motorsports Park, O’Ward hinted a new deal was imminent and this was confirmed by McLaren CEO Zak Brown mere days later. Today comes confirmation that O’Ward will stay put through to the end of 2025.
O’Ward, the 2018 Indy Lights champion, joined Arrow McLaren SP in 2020 for his first full season in the NTT IndyCar Series, and immediately shone, delivering four podiums and a pole position on his way to fourth in the championship. He also clinched Rookie of the Year honors at the Indianapolis 500 with a sixth-place finish.
