Last month, it was confirmed that this, the Swede’s second season with Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet, would not be his last at McLaren Racing, but with Pato O’Ward and Alexander Rossi already confirmed in AMSP’s IndyCar three-car line-up for 2023, speculation mounted that Rosenqvist would be sent to the squad’s new Formula E team. This prognostication looked more valid still when McLaren announced it had signed defending IndyCar champion Alex Palou.
However, after the Toronto race, in which he finished a fighting third and outpaced Pato O’Ward all weekend, Rosenqvist said that he hoped he had made McLaren CEO Zak Brown’s decisions over 2023 that much harder, and he has frequently said this year that he intends to stay in IndyCar.
