Another name circulating in the paddock is Pato O’Ward, the talented Mexican driver currently competing in IndyCar. O’Ward has delivered strong performances this season, currently sitting second in the championship standings and regularly appearing on the podium. He also claimed victory in the most recent race in Iowa.
Crucially, O’Ward has prior experience in Formula 1 machinery as a McLaren Racing driver. He holds a super licenceand is set to drive the MCL39 during free practice at the Mexican Grand Prix.
However, in an interview with Mexican sports outlet Medio Tempo, O’Ward downplayed the rumors:
