When Pato O'Ward spoke about his Formula One passion
Arrow McLaren driver Pato O'Ward once spoke about his passion for Formula One and never giving up on it. Like most of the race car drivers, O'Ward began his open-wheel racing career with karting but had to quit in 2012. However, he set a record by becoming the youngest winner of PC Class of the 24 Hour Daytona at the age of 17.
In 2020, O'Ward joined Arrow McLaren and entered the McLaren driver development program, and eventually signed up to become a reserve driver with Arrow McLaren's sister team in Formula One. In 2024, while in conversation with Enrique Naranjo from Marca, he spoke about not giving up on his Formula One dream.
"I hope that I will have free practice this year with McLaren. And because of my dream in Formula 1... that dream will never die," he said.
Pato O'Ward further highlighted how he is lucky to be in a position to move to Formula One if the opportunity ever arises, adding:
"That dream is what brought me to be in this position now, today, that I wouldn't trade for anything. But I feel like I have an opportunity that not many people have. And that is, apart from possibly making a move to Formula 1 a little bit later in my career, which is not normal, to also have the opportunity to win the Indy 500 which is the biggest race in the world."
Pato O'Ward has seven wins and six poles in his eight years in IndyCar.
