22-year-old David Malukas has departed the Arrow McLaren IndyCar squad following an injury sustained in pre-season.

Lewis Hamilton made similar remarks after the race. “The undercut here was huge,” Albon…
The McLaren team had a somewhat disappointing start to the 2024 season following their impressive performance at the end of last year, thanks to the major upgrades that were brought in Austria, Hungary and Singapore. After finishing P6 and P8 in Bahrain, McLaren has generally been the third fastest team. Japan was disappointing as higher…
Following the Chinese Grand Prix, where Alpine once again struggled to make an impact on the points, Pierre Gasly expressed both frustration and optimism regarding the team’s performance.
