Gavin Ward Steps Down as Arrow McLaren Team Principal

The departure marks a strategic leadership change for McLaren's IndyCar team as it prepares for the 2025 season.

Gavin Ward leaves Arrow McLaren after two years, having led the team to its most successful season with multiple race wins in 2024.
Ward, who previously worked with Red Bull Racing and Team Penske, played a key role in transforming the team since joining in 2022.
The decision for Ward's departure was mutual and strategic, as McLaren aims to enhance its performance and growth for the upcoming season.
McLaren will rely on a strengthened leadership team, including notable figures like Tony Kanaan and Brian Barnhart, to guide the team forward.
The team will field cars for drivers Pato O'Ward, Christian Lundgaard, and Nolan Siegel in the 2025 IndyCar Series.
