Pato O’Ward is fast. Like, really fast. I knew how fast he was already because I watched Indy Lights for the first time (which he won), but Race of Champions really opened my eyes. He showed that he had the grit and determination and skill to take down drivers such as Tom Kristensen. Then, I looked up his history and oh my god. IMSA Prototype Challenge champion when he was 18 (18 !), Star mazda champion at 18 , Indy Lights Champion at 19, and an official Indycar series debut finish of 8th.

K id is very fast. Expect him to be a world champion very soon.

Yeah, he’s really fast.  When he learns how to manage his tires better, look out IndyCar!

And his debut was with a backmarker team. Imagine him in a Penske or Andretti

Andretti lent them shocks and a bunch of engineering support for that race, because O-Ward and Huerta were their guys.  Harding, now Harding Stienbrenner, is really the junior Andretti team now.

Yep, he out-qualified Huerta too! I’m just saying, O-Ward had a much better prepped car than Gabby Chaves or Connor Daly had from Harding. That doesn’t take anything away fro O’Ward’ s performance, which was incredible.
