The Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson will maintain his place with the Andretti Global team for the 2027 IndyCar season, driving the number 28 vehicle. The former F1 driver joined Andretti at the beginning of the 2024 season and, despite not having achieved any victories so far, has obtained two second places and one pole.
Ericsson will compete alongside his teammates, Kyle Kirkwood and Will Power, during his fourth consecutive season with this historic IndyCar team.
The driver has expressed his excitement for this contract renewal, highlighting that it has been a promising year where they have started to see the fruits of their effort. ‘We have worked very hard and, although the results have not always been the best, I have felt competitive at every track,’ he commented.
Additionally, Jill Gregory, president of Andretti Global, has indicated that Ericsson’s continuity is essential for the team’s consistency. Celebrating their progress during this season, Gregory has emphasized the importance of keeping the team united to enhance stability and chemistry among the drivers.
Ericsson, who has four victories in his IndyCar career (all with Ganassi), achieved his first pole with Andretti in the recent Arlington race. Currently, he sits ninth in the standings after two seasons in which he finished in the last positions.
