Pato O'Ward Secures Multi-Year Extension with Arrow McLaren

The deal confirms O'Ward as McLaren F1's reserve driver post-IndyCar season, marking a significant step in his racing career.

Pato O'Ward, the 24-year-old Mexican driver, has signed a multi-year contract extension with Arrow McLaren, ensuring his position within the team through at least 2025.
The contract extension comes with a substantial pay increase, totaling $10.2 million, as revealed in court documents amid a lawsuit involving McLaren Racing.
O'Ward's new deal includes a $2 million 'uplift' to his current contract, potentially for his role as McLaren F1's reserve driver for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
Last season, O'Ward finished fourth in the NTT IndyCar Series championship, securing seven podiums and qualifying for a super license required for Formula One.
The agreement was reached ahead of the IndyCar season opener, allowing O'Ward and the Arrow McLaren team to focus on racing and winning.
