As a driver, Pato O’Ward remains an enigma. He appears to have more natural talent than anyone on the IndyCar grid, yet results sometimes don’t back up the potential. Is this baffling lack of consistency down to the driver, or the McLaren team, which until this year frequently appeared in disarray?
In 2025, O’Ward improved his qualifying, which helped him generate more consistent race results. Wins in Iowa and Toronto propelled him to a career-best second in the standings despite a couple of late DNFs. Always strong at Indianapolis, O’Ward is IndyCar’s most popular driver by a landslide.
