Alexander Rossi has become the latest IndyCar driver heading for the exit at McLaren. But this is a different situation to the rest of the whirlwind around that team this year
Another week, another McLaren IndyCar driver change. This time, it’s an ex-Formula 1 driver and Indianapolis 500 winner, Alexander Rossi, who is making the decision to leave the team at the age of 32. Rossi’s IndyCar journey started after returning from a career in Europe and winning the Indy 500 in 2016. Despite recent successes, his exit from McLaren is a “business” decision rather than performance-related. Rossi is optimistic about his future in IndyCar but faces limited options for teams with available seats for next season, with Rahal Letterman Lanigan being a potential fit. Rossi has expressed his desire to compete for the championship again and is considering his next move carefully.
