Download Alexander Rossi McLaren: Arrow McLaren SP Welcomes American Driver for 2023 and Beyond

Thursday's announcement marks the final step in a months-long saga involving Alexander Rossi and Andretti, the team he spent all seven seasons of his post-F1 career with and won seven times. The talented driver is someone we have had our eye on for some time, and we're excited to see what he'll do as a part of Arrow McLaren SP.

The move was made official just one day after Rossi's current team, Andretti Autosport, announced his imminent departure at the end of this IndyCar season. The 30-year-old American driver has signed a multi-year deal with the team that last week announced a new contract for his new teammate Pato O'Ward through 2025.

'It is essential that we put the right talent in place, both inside and outside the car, so we can consistently compete for championships and race wins as a team,' said McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown in a release. 'Alex is a proven race-winner and an Indianapolis 500 champion who shares our desire to win.'

Rossi's addition to Arrow McLaren SP brings a wealth of experience and skill to the team's expanding three-car program for 2023 and beyond. With his impressive track record, including seven IndyCar wins and an Indy 500 championship, he is sure to be a valuable asset as the team looks to compete at the highest level.

We're thrilled to welcome Alexander Rossi to Arrow McLaren SP and look forward to seeing what he'll achieve with the team.
