McLaren partners with Arrow SPM for full-time IndyCar program

The McLaren Racing team will make its full-time return to IndyCar competition next season in a partnership with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports under the Arrow McLaren Racing SP banner.

 

The two-car program, utilizing the current Arrow SPM staff and a new group of McLaren personnel assembled specifically for the IndyCar project, will debut in 2020 using Chevrolet engines. Drivers have not been announced, leaving the future of James Hinchcliffe and Marcus Ericsson at Arrow McLaren SP in question.

 

Of interest, Arrow SPM’s existing commitment to field a car for Robert Wickens, who was injured in one of its entries at Pocono in August of 2018, will be honored when the Canadian star is able to resume his IndyCar career, if he chooses to do with the reconfigured team.

 

Indy 500 winner and former IndyCar entrant Gil de Ferran, who serves as McLaren’s sporting director, will become McLaren’s dedicated IndyCar program leader, working alongside Arrow SPM president Jon Flack and general manager Taylor Kiel.

 

McLaren’s partnership with Arrow SPM co-owners Sam Schmidt and Ric Peterson does not involve purchasing the team outright or acquiring the individual ownership stakes held by Schmidt or Peterson.

 

“IndyCar has been part of McLaren since our early years of racing, and the series today provides not only a commercial platform to continue to grow our brand in North America, but competition with some of the best teams in international motorsport,” said McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown.

 

“This team provides McLaren with the right synergy as a strategic partner for our return to the sport. We believe together we can help each other achieve our mutual ambitions. Sam Schmidt and Ric Peterson have built a solid foundation, and we look forward to working together to take the team to the next level.”

 

For Schmidt, the relationship with McLaren, which brings significant resources to the table, has the potential to make Arrow McLaren SP a regular contender for podiums and wins.

 

“I’m extremely proud of the team that Ric and I have built and that a legendary brand like McLaren Racing has decided to partner with us to form Arrow McLaren Racing SP to continue our march to the top of IndyCar,” he said.

 

“Arrow is a tremendous partner which has been integral to our growth as a team since 2015, and to the creation of this new partnership. The combined technical resources and commercial opportunities both McLaren and Arrow bring to the table provide a winning combination.”

Peterson, who joined forces with Schmidt in 2013, says the new relationship with McLaren brings renewed optimism for a team with aspirations of fighting Andretti Autosport, Chip Ganassi, and Team Penske for future championships.

 

“I’m really excited that we could pull together our long-term partner Arrow and forge a new partnership with McLaren to become a unified force,” he said. “I’m equally thrilled that Sam and I are able to continue on in our long-standing relationship together and maintain our ownership position in the company. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

 

Unifying Arrow Electronics’ primary involvements in racing – McLaren in Formula 1 and Arrow SPM in IndyCar – under one roof is another major accomplishment in the formation of Arrow McLaren SP.

 

“Advancement in automotive technology continues to be a powerful growth driver for our business,” said Arrow CEO Mike Long. “We are delighted to see our partners join forces in a way that provides an even broader platform and showcase for Arrow’s engineering and innovation.”

 

Along with Arrow, Brown is pleased to develop an increased relationship with Chevrolet.

 

“I’m absolutely delighted that we will expand our relationship with Arrow Electronics across both F1 and IndyCar, while renewing our long affinity with Chevrolet as our engine partner,” he said. “McLaren and Chevrolet have a special history together in North America, and it is fitting they are part of our full-time return to IndyCar.

 

“We come to IndyCar in full respect of the sport, our competitors, the fans and the task ahead. At our core, we at McLaren are racers, and where there’s competition that puts us to the test, we will race. The NTT IndyCar Series provides such a challenge.”

 

With a pair of Dallara DW12s purchased for the 2019 Indy 500, and other key support equipment in hand, McLaren is expected to combine its hardware with Arrow SPM’s, giving the organization considerable depth to draw from in the final years of the current chassis and engine formula.

Zamrzecu Norisa. Uspeo je da usere oba kruga u Q3 toliko da je bio 8 desetinki sporiji od svog vremena u Q2.

Hm, kako stvari trenutno stoje ako cemo vec da menjamo bolje bi bilo da uzmemo Ferari jerbo je njina makina trenutno bolja od Mecke. Mada ja ne bih menjao Renola, Mercedes vec ima previse timova koje snabdeva a i ne isporucuje musterijama isto sto i sebi. Reno jes' da je slabiji (iako se konstantno priblizava) ali bar znas da imas sanse s njim da tuces fabricku ekipu, s Mercedesom to nemas.

Pa i sa vama je ista prica kao i sa Meckom, ni vasim musterijama ne cvetaju ruze. Jedino Reno dozvoljava sebi situacije da mu musterije tuku fabricku ekipu.

Biće mi baš žao jbg. Nadam se da će i pouzdanost motora da dođe sledeće godine pa da se raziđemo u nekom veselju

I meni je zao.

[Borko]

I zvanicno smo ponovo Meklaren-Mercedes od 2021.

[Dzoni_m]

Ja ne znam koliko puta ce sebi taj Meklaren pucati u nogu. Obavezati se Mercedesu, u godini kada se pravila menjaju, u situaciji kada iz Mercedesa zvanicno kazu da je razvoj SUS motora zamrznut i da se okrecu elektro-pogonu, je po meni, u najmanju ruku problematicno.

I to sve iz kompanije koja proizvodi automobile.

Nisam uopste srecan zbog ovoga, ali mislim da znam zasto su ovo uradili, jer se plase da Reno opet ne počne slabo kao '14 a Mercedes sigurno nece omanuti sa motorima.

[Dzoni_m]

Pitanje je koliko ce taj Mercedes otati posvecen F1. Ne znam da li je pametno ignorisati sve ove pokrete i poteze zakonodavaca oko ekologije. Firme tipa Mercedesa mogu da zive bez F1

Mecka svuda il ide da bude sampion ili se ne takmice... a sumnjam da sada potpisuju ugovore za 2021, istovremeno planirajuci skori odlazak iz formule.

[Borko]

Ma nema sanse da idu, je l Vilijams pre 3 nedelje potpisao sa njima ugovor na 6 godina. Meklarenov ugovor sa Mercedesom je na 4 godine.

[Borko]

Karlitos pokidao poslednji krug u Q3. Neverovatno kako uvek uspe da izvuce sve od sebe u tom poslednjem kvalifikacionom krugu. 

[Borko]

Predjosmo stotku prvi put posle 5 godina ♥️

[Radoye]

Dobro bilo ovo danas, Karlos odlican ceo vikend, Lando na momente, bolid s kojim moze nesto da se zapocne (doduse jos uvek ne i napadne podijum), ovo vec lici na nesto.

[MetalHead]

Pitam se kakav li je bio osecaj Toto Wolf-a u vikendu kada objavljuju saradnju sa McLaren-om a onda potom u trci ih McLaren pritiska skoro oba vozaca obilazi? 🙂

 

Odlican McLaren ove sezone, zaista, nisam ocekivao... bio sam ubedjen da treba da ostanu na Honda-i i da ce taj motor da proradi (kao sto mislim i da jeste, mada RedBull je uvek imao odlicnu sasiju pa manje vise svaki motor tamo radi). 

[Radoye]

Red Bul uvek ima odlicnu sasiju ali ima i Maksa, bez njega to bi bilo klanje sa Meklarenom i Renoom za best of the rest.

[Borko]

Ma gde bi bilo klanje. Jaci su od nas dosta. Na moju veliku zalost, ali jeste tako.

[alberto.ascari]

Dobar članak.

@Radoye Radoje, da li ti zaista mislis da je Ferstapen 6 desetink brzi od Karlosa? Istog Karlosa Sainsa koji je ga je 2015. pobedio u kvalifikacijama 10-9 uz nerealno tesko breme da je vozio protiv protezea Helmuta Marka. Pritom je Ferstapen znao da mu je Sains pretnja i bili su vec krajem 2015. u otvorenom sukubu. 2016. kada je Ferstapen vozio prve 4 trke za Toro Roso i kada je taj tim u potpunosti bio podredjen njemu, najveca razlika u Q sa kojom je uspeo da pobedi Sainsa je 0.142 s. 3-1 za njega, s tim sto kada je Sains bio to jednom brzi, bio je brzi za 0.313 s.

 

Coveku je ovo prva sezona u F1 kada mu buducnost nije neizvesna i po mom misljenju vozi zaista, zaista, dobro. Prvi put u zivotu vozi za tim a da zna da mu je buducnost u F1 osigurana. Nema Marka nad glavom da strahuje da li ce ga poseci na kraju sezone, nije tu da popuni mesto u timu dok se ceka neciji dolazak (njegova prosla sezona u Renou dok se cekao dolazak Rikiarda). Njegov rezultatski ucinak bi bio jos bolji da ga Ferstapen nije udario u Bahreinu dok su se borili za peto mesto, da su mu nasi mehanicari zavrnuli tocak kako treba dok je bio 6. u Italiji i da ga Hulkenberg nije zveknuo u prvom krugu u Singapuru dok je bio na sedmom mestu. Dva boda mu fale da sam bude ispred tima Reno. Tako da je zaista previse reci da Ferstapen pravi tu razliku, a da su Red Bul i Meklaren tu negde.

[Dzoni_m]

Ako na to dodas start Albona iz pit-lane i da je zavrsio ispred vas i pretekao Sainza na stazi regularno, ja se slazem, mislim da je taj RB mnogo bolji. Verstapen je bio 20 sek ispred Sainza u jednom momentu. Jeste on dobar ali ne toliko. Po meni ispravno razmisljas.
