News summary

Arrow McLaren has announced the departure of Team Principal Gavin Ward, effective immediately, following a mutual decision aimed at positioning the team for growth ahead of the 2025 IndyCar season. Ward, who joined Arrow McLaren in 2022 from Team Penske, led the team to its most successful season in 2024 with three race victories, including a strong performance at the Indianapolis 500. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown praised Ward's contributions to the team's transformation and stated that leadership responsibilities will now be shared among existing team members, including Tony Kanaan and Brian Barnhart. Ward expressed pride in developing a 'people-first culture' during his tenure and plans to take time off with his family while considering his next career steps. The team is set to field drivers Pato O'Ward, Nolan Siegel, and Christian Lundgaard for 2025, but has not yet announced a replacement for Ward. This change comes as Arrow McLaren continues to invest in talent and organizational improvements for future success.
