Tony Kanaan has had plenty of roles with Arrow McLaren, on and off the track, and has the interim tag removed. Here's how changes impact team leadership.

Arrow McLaren elevated 2013 Indianapolis 500 winning driver Tony Kanaan to the role of Team Principal and Kevin Thimjon as President of the IndyCar team on February 25.

Tony Kanaan, the 2013 Indy 500 champion, has worked within the Arrow McLaren organization since the the 2023 IndyCar season.

On Thursday, February 20, Tony Kanaan was announced as team principal of McLaren’s IndyCar outfit going forward. Kanaan first joined McLaren as a kind of all-around advisor, but with former team principal Gavin Ward stepping back from the team at the conclusion of the 2024 season, McLaren has been hard at work pursuing its options.
