Patricio "Pato"O'Ward Junco (born 6 May 1999) is a Mexicanauto racing driver who competes full-time in theIndyCar Series, driving the No. 5 Chevrolet forArrow McLaren. He is signed to theMcLaren Driver Development Programme and is currently the reserve driver for theirFormula One team. He is the 2018Indy Lights champion.
O'Ward was born inMonterrey, Mexico to Patricio O'Ward and Elba Junco.[1] He attended high school inSan Antonio, Texas, US.[2] He explained on an episode ofThe Marshall Pruett Podcast that his surname comes from his Irish great-grandfather, adding that he considers himself "full-blownMexican".[3]
O'Ward began his racing career in karting at the end of 2005 and remained in karting until 2012. During 2013, he competed inopen-wheel racing, inLatam Fórmula 2000,Formula Renault 1.6 NEC andPacific F2000.[4] In 2014, O'Ward competed inFrench F4 Championship.[5]
In2015, O'Ward debuted in thePro Mazda Championship withTeam Pelfrey, finishing sixth in the championship.[6] In2016, O'Ward returned to compete with Team Pelfrey in the Pro Mazda Championship, finishing the season as championship runner-up.[7]
In2018, O'Ward signed withAndretti Autosport to compete in theIndy Lights championship.[8] He won nine of the seventeen races, was namedRookie of the Year and won thedrivers championship at the penultimate race of the season inPortland, beating runner-upColton Herta.[9]
Two weeks after clinching the2018 Indy Lights championship title, O'Ward made hisIndyCar Series debut atSonoma Raceway in a secondHarding Racing entry, where he qualified fifth and finished ninth. This tied him withDavid Martínez for the best finish on debut by a Mexican driver in American open-wheel racing.[10]

In2019, O'Ward was scheduled to move up to theIndyCar Series full-time, piloting the No. 8 entry forHarding Steinbrenner Racing.[11] However, sponsorship issues led to O'Ward being granted his release from the team on 11 February 2019.[12]
On 7 March, O'Ward joinedCarlin on a part-time deal that saw him drive in thirteen races in the 2019 season. O'Ward drove Carlin's second entry for twelve races and drove Carlin's third entry for theIndianapolis 500.[13] O'Ward failed to qualify for theIndy 500 along with Carlin teammateMax Chilton and the Carlin-prepared car ofMcLaren Racing'sFernando Alonso. His Red Bull deal, which was signed in May, also saw him only compete in eight of the thirteen events he originally signed for. He placed 26th in the final points standings, with the best race finish of eighth, achieved at theCircuit of the Americas.
On 30 October, it was announced that O'Ward had returned to IndyCar by signing a deal withArrow McLaren SP for the2020 season.[14]
In his first season for Arrow McLaren SP (AMSP), O'Ward was partnered byOliver Askew for most races, withHélio Castroneves replacing Askew at theHarvest GP and withFernando Alonso in a third entry at theIndianapolis 500. O'Ward had a strong start to 2020, clinching pole position and achieving his first podium finish at the second round of theRoad America double-header, finishing second. AtIowa, he finished fourth in the first race. He was fourth in the overall points standings heading into the Indianapolis 500, which was held in August due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. O'Ward would go on to finish sixth in his first Indianapolis 500 start and won theIndianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award for his performance.[15] He subsequently scored consecutive podium finishes inthe double-header atWorld Wide Technology Raceway.[16]
O'Ward was placing as high as third in the driver standings before finishing eleventh and ninth at the double-header atMid-Ohio and a disappointing 22nd place at the first race of the Harvest GP double-header atIndianapolis Motor Speedway, which dropped him to fifth in the overall standings. After signing a new deal with AMSP,[17] he finished second inthe season finale atSt. Petersburg, securing fourth in the final championship standings.[18]

O'Ward's second season with Arrow McLaren SP saw him partnerFelix Rosenqvist, previously ofChip Ganassi Racing. O'Ward emerged as a title contender in2021. He started the season off by earning his second career pole position at the season opener atBarber but was unable to convert that pole position into a win. O'Ward took his first podium of the season with a third-place finish inthe first race at theTexas Motor Speedway and took his maiden IndyCar victory inthe second race the following day.[19][20] He became the first Mexican driver to win an IndyCar race sinceAdrian Fernandez in2004 atFontana and the first Chevrolet driver not fromTeam Penske to win a race since 2016.[citation needed]
After taking his first win, O'Ward never dropped lower than third in the championship standings, consistently fending off series championsJosef Newgarden andScott Dixon while challengingÁlex Palou for much of the season. He started on the pole and finished third at the first race at theDetroit double-header and scored his second win of the season at the second race, his first win on a street course.[21] He achieved his third pole position of the season at theBig Machine Spiked Coolers Grand Prix, where he eventually finished fifth in the race.[22] He achieved another podium with a second-place finish atGateway, taking the championship lead for the first time in the season.[23] However, a 14th-place finish atPortland by O'Ward saw race-winner Palou retake the lead.[24] At thepenultimate race of the season, he clinched a fifth-place finish, remaining second in the points standings heading intothe season finale.[25]
At the season finale atLong Beach, O'Ward was one of three drivers who were mathematically in contention for the series title, alongside Palou and Newgarden. To win the title, barring Palou retiring from the race, O'Ward would have to earn the bonus point from qualifying for the pole position, win the race, and hope Palou finished no better than thirteenth to not have a tiebreaker scenario come into play.[26] After a controversial qualifying session where he failed to advance to theFirestone Fast Six and qualified eighth, O'Ward was taken out byEd Jones early in the race and ultimately retired from the race due to a broken driveshaft, effectively ending his championship hopes. He ultimately finished third in the championship behind Palou and Newgarden.[27][28] O'Ward secured his first IndyCar track discipline championship when he won the A.J. Foyt Cup as the highest-scoring driver in the series on oval courses in 2021.[29]

O'Ward would return to Arrow McLaren SP in a contract year. He started the season slowly before capturing his first win of the season and first on a permanent road course at the fourth round at Barber.[30] On 27 May 2022, O'Ward announced he had signed a three-year contract extension with Arrow McLaren SP.[31] O'Ward followed up his new contract with a second-place finish in the106th Indianapolis 500, briefly nosing ahead ofMarcus Ericsson for the lead on the final lap but was unable to complete the pass. After a difficult four race stint that saw him retire with mechanical issues in back to back races O'Ward picked up a second win on the season and first on a short oval at the second round atIowa.[32] He ultimately finished seventh in the championship standings.

O'Ward had a strong start to2023, with three second-place finishes in the first five races. His performance in the third round atLong Beach, however, was subject to criticism after he attempted an overtake on Scott Dixon that caused Dixon to crash out of the race. O'Ward started fifth at the2023 Indianapolis 500, his best starting position in the race to date, but crashed out of the race fighting for the second place with Marcus Ericsson. He ultimately finished fourth in the championship, picking up no wins but having the most podium finishes and top five finishes of his career.
O'Ward started his2024 campaign with a second place in St. Petersburg. Over a month later, O'Ward was awarded the win at St. Petersburg after race winner Josef Newgarden was found to have violated push to pass regulations and was subsequently stripped of the victory.[33] O'Ward led eleven laps and finished second in the2024 Indianapolis 500, following a last-lap pass from winner Josef Newgarden.[34] After picking up a series of top-ten finishes after the Indianapolis 500, O'Ward scored his second win of the year atMid-Ohio by holding off polesitterAlex Palou in the final laps of theHonda Indy 200. With his win O'Ward became the first driver to win a race in IndyCar's hybrid powertrain era.[35] O'Ward picked up a third win at the first race at IndyCar's return to theMilwaukee Mile, securing his first season of more than two wins on the year.
O'Ward started the2025 season with an eleventh place in St. Petersburg. He finished third in the2025 Indianapolis 500, behindÁlex Palou andDavid Malukas. He would earn his eighth-career victory in his one-hundredth-race in the series at Iowa 1. He would also win at Toronto.
In May 2019, O'Ward was signed to theRed Bull Junior Team and the following month, was placed on a one-event deal to compete at theRed Bull Ring in Formula 2, substituting for the bannedMahaveer Raghunathan, and was announced asDan Ticktum's replacement in theSuper Formula Championship.[36][37][38]
Due to a decision by the FIA to award fewerSuper License points for O'Ward's Indy Lights championship win, O'Ward was unable to attain the required points to be able to raceFormula One in 2020 and would not be retained by Red Bull past 2019. With an IndyCar series ride with McLaren available, Red Bull driver development program headHelmut Marko granted O'Ward an early release from his contract after three Super Formula rounds.[39][40]
Before the2021 IndyCar Series season,McLaren CEOZak Brown promised O'Ward a test of theMcLaren MCL35M if he could win at least one IndyCar race.[41] O'Ward held up his end of the deal withMcLaren after winning theXPEL 375 and Brown subsequently confirmed O'Ward would get the promised F1 test.[42] O'Ward got his first opportunity to drive a Formula One Car on 14 November 2021, when he demonstrated aMcLaren MP4/13 at Laguna Seca.[43] Two time Formula One World ChampionMika Häkkinen, who drove the MP4/13 to his first Driver's Championship, was on hand to help familiarize O'Ward with the car.[44] During the run, O'Ward beat his fastest lap time around Laguna Seca in theDallara DW12 with the UAK18 aero kit by over a second with the MP4/13.[45]
On 14 December 2021, O'Ward tested the MCL35M at the end of the season inAbu Dhabi, where he finished fourth-fastest after completing 92 laps.[46] Despite speculation that the test could lead to O'Ward moving up to Formula 1 upon a strong performance, Brown dismissed those rumors by confirming O'Ward would be back with McLaren in IndyCar for the2022 season, following McLaren's purchase of 75% ownership stake inSchmidt Peterson Motorsports.[47] Brown later stated that the Abu Dhabi test could lead to O'Ward getting additional Formula One tests and even race weekend practice time, if O'Ward adapts to the car and the tires well, but added that O'Ward would have to win the IndyCar Series championship for McLaren to consider moving him from IndyCar to Formula One.[48] In July 2022, O'Ward was confirmed for additional Formula One tests with McLaren along with late season race weekend practice time being a possibility.
In September 2022, it was announced that O'Ward would carry out another test with McLaren at theCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya together withÁlex Palou.[49] He participated in another test at theRed Bull Ring in October, together with Álex Palou once again.[50] O'Ward made his free practice debut with McLaren at the2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.[51]
In April 2023, McLaren formed a newDriver Development Programme with O'Ward signed to it.[52] In September, McLaren announced that O'Ward will participate in the2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix free practice session.[53] In November, McLaren announced that O'Ward would be one of their reserve drivers for the2024 season.[54]
O'Ward made his first free practice appearance of the 2024 season during theMexico City Grand Prix, and finished the session in thirteenth. This marked the first time that O'Ward competed in a Formula One session within his home country.[55][56]
O'Ward is set to make his free practice return during the2025 season, at his homeMexico City Grand Prix once again forMcLaren.[57]
In2017, O'Ward competed in theWeatherTech SportsCar Championship with Performance Tech Motorsports in the Prototype Challenge (PC) class. O'Ward and his co-drivers won the24 Hours of Daytona[58] and the12 Hours of Sebring[59] in the PC class, making him the youngest driver ever to win both races, at seventeen years old. He went on to win the 2017 Prototype Challenge drivers championship, alongsideJames French, and theNorth American Endurance Cup, alongside French and Kyle Masson.[60]
In 2022, O'Ward participated again in the24 Hours of Daytona in theLMP2 entry withDragonSpeed, partnered byColton Herta,Devlin DeFrancesco, andEric Lux.[61] The team won after an overtake by Herta for first place in the final 11 minutes of the race.[62]
