McLaren Targets End to 50‑Year Indy 500 Drought

McLaren is positioning its 2026 campaign around ending a 50‑year Indy 500 drought. The team has fielded four cars and appointed a new team principal, with Pato O’Ward highlighted as a key driver.

Recent aerodynamic and power‑unit upgrades are expected to translate into stronger race‑day performance. A victory would finally close the gap that has existed since 1976.
