As Marcus Ericsson enters his sixth year racing in the NTT IndyCar Series, he finds himself among a new team
After spending four years at Chip Ganassi Racing, Marcus Ericsson has now joined Andretti Global, a team facing similar consistency challenges as he experienced in his own career. Despite fielding four drivers in the last three seasons, Andretti has only managed to secure seven wins during that period, often finishing in the lower half of the field. In an effort to address these issues, Andretti has reduced its entries to three for the 2024 season. Ericsson aims to bring his experience and focus on consistency to the team, hoping to elevate Andretti to compete with powerhouses like Ganassi and Penske. Despite encountering setbacks like an engine problem in St. Petersburg, Ericsson remains determined to deliver consistent performances throughout the season to improve on his sixth-place championship finishes from previous years.
