About Pato
Pato O'Ward is a Mexican racing driver who has been the brightest emerging star in IndyCar since his breakout 2021 season with Arrow McLaren. The Monterrey-born driver took his maiden victory at Texas that year and finished third in the championship, then doubled down in 2022 with another win at the same track.
A 2024 runner-up finish in the standings was the closest call yet — a season that culminated in a heartbreaking Indianapolis 500 second-place after leading late. O'Ward's enormous Latin American fanbase, McLaren-orange merchandise empire, and reserve-driver F1 outings have made him IndyCar's marketing centerpiece. The championship is the one trophy still missing.
Pato O'Ward currently races for Arrow McLaren in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, sitting P5 in the standings with 239 points. Track Pato O'Ward's full season on the Grid Guy interactive standings.
