P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Theo Pourchaire deputised for David Malukas at two events, but will now take over the No.6 McLaren Arrow for the remainder of the year – bar the Indy 500.
“Théo Pourchaire will complete the current IndyCar season for McLaren Arrow, excluding the Indianapolis 500. The 20-year-old joined in April at the Grand Prix of Long Beach and continued at Barber a week later, filling in for the injured David Malukas. McLaren invoked a break clause in Malukas’ contract following the results at Barber Motorsports Park. Pourchaire impressed in his first two races, even finishing ahead of McLaren’s regular drivers. While he will miss the Indy 500, he will compete in oval tracks later in the season. McLaren has yet to announce who will take over the No. 6 car for that event.”
