The Bitnile.com Grand Prix of Portland was a challenging event for Arrow McLaren in the NTT IndyCar Series, as they struggled to perform well in both qualifying and the race. Despite high expectations, Alexander Rossi finished 17th, Pato O’Ward finished 22nd, and Nolan Siegel placed 23rd. The team’s recent races have been inconsistent due to various issues like powertrain problems, driver injuries, and setup difficulties. Arrow McLaren’s lack of metronomic consistency has prevented them from matching rivals like Chip Ganassi Racing and Team Penske. The team’s poor performance at Portland has forced them to reevaluate their approach and seek solutions for better results in the future. O’Ward expressed frustration at the team’s struggles and emphasized the need for a thorough analysis to address their challenges and improve performance.
