The 25-year-old Briton has been called in to drive Arrow McLaren’s No. 6 Chevrolet for the IndyCar Series season opener while David Malukas continues to recover from an injured left wrist that required surgery.
The journey to this point has been an interesting one for Ilott. He made 36 IndyCar starts with Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) over the last three seasons, including five top-10 finishes that was highlighted with a career- and team-best fifth (twice – St. Petersburg, Laguna Seca) in 2023. That venture came after a brief spell with Formula 1 programs as a test driver for Ferrari and a reserve driver for Alfa Romeo (now Sauber) in 2021.
