Arrow McLaren to replace Rossi with Lundgaard in yet another driver lineup change for IndyCar team

Arrow McLaren Racing is making another driver lineup change and will replace former Indianapolis 500 winner Alexander Rossi with Christian Lundgaard next season.

The 22-year-old Danish driver will leave Rahal Letterman Lanigan, the team that brought him out of the Formula 1 ladder to IndyCar for one race in 2021 and then signed him to a full-time deal in the American open wheel series. Lundgaard has won once, scored three podiums and two poles in 43 career starts and was at the top of this year's class of IndyCar free agents.

Rossi, who won the Indy 500 in 2016 as a rookie with Andretti Global, joined Arrow McLaren last year. He scored only his second podium since joining the team earlier this season at Laguna Seca; at the time, many thought it had saved the former F1 drivers' job.

Ultimately, team principal Gavin Ward and Rossi's manager father, Pieter, told The Associated Press, the two sides could not agree to terms.
