McLaren star issues update on rumoured F1 driver transfer
McLaren star Pato O’Ward is racing for Arrow McLaren in the IndyCar series and sits second in the championship behind Alex Palou. He joined McLaren as a test driver in 2024 and made an FP1 appearance at the Mexican Grand Prix last year. O’Ward expressed hopes of securing a full-time drive in F1 despite not being a candidate for Cadillac’s 2026 seats. While Cadillac has not made an official announcement, ex-F1 drivers Bottas and Perez are favorites for the team. O’Ward’s chances of securing a slot with Cadillac are slim due to their preference for experienced drivers.
