Arrow McLaren confirms Ilott for IndyCar season opener
Callum Ilott will be driving the #6 Chevrolet-powered car for David Malukas, who is currently recovering from surgery on his left wrist. Ilott, a 25-year-old British driver, has substituted for Malukas in pre-season testing at Homestead-Miami Speedway. With 36 IndyCar starts over the last three seasons, Ilott has secured five top 10 finishes with Juncos Hollinger Racing. Additionally, he has experience in Formula 1 as a test driver for Ferrari and a reserve driver for Alfa Romeo in 2021. Ilott expressed his sympathy for Malukas and the team, stating that it’s a challenging situation right before the season’s start and he wishes Malukas a speedy recovery. The deal with Ilott is a one-off as Arrow McLaren is still considering driver line-up options for future tests and races while David is recuperating.
