McLaren Racing Chief Executive Zak Brown said on Friday that Juan Pablo Montoya brings more than just experience to the paddock at the Indianapolis 500 and makes his team mates better because of his ability to speak up,
Montoya, a two-time Indianapolis 500 champion who will make his return to the race on Sunday for the first time since 2017, will pilot the third Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet to team up with full-time drivers Pato O'Ward and Felix Rosenqvist.
"Anytime you get someone with Juan's experience that benefits your other drivers," Brown told reporters. "They just kind of watch how he communicates and I think they can learn quite a bit from him and I think that's been happening." "We've got three happy drivers," said Brown. "We have three fast racing cars and are looking forward to competing with everyone on Sunday which will no doubt be one of the most competitive Indy 500s ever."
