McLaren’s IndyCar team makes leadership changes as Gavin Ward leaves role as team principal
Associated PressArrow McLaren said Tuesday that team principal Gavin Ward has left the IndyCar team after two seasons in a mutual and strategic decision among executive leadership. “I leave Arrow McLaren after two years developing a people-first culture set to topple the 20-year domination of IndyCar’s championship teams,” Ward said. Arrow McLaren is positioned for further success — with a stable driver lineup, significant offseason recruitment and thoughtful organizational changes.” Ward said he planned to spend time with his wife and two daughters “while I evaluate what’s next in my career.” Ward, a Canadian, started his motorsports career volunteering with a local Formula Ford racing team. But the team has struggled with personnel since three-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou changed his mind about moving to McLaren from Chip Ganassi Racing and Ward spent most of 2024 filling holes in the lineup.
