Kanaan on McLaren’s record breaking 2025 + Laguna Seca reviewed
About this episode
McLaren's Tony Kanaan joins this week’s episode of The Race IndyCar Podcast after his team bagged a record 11th podium of the season at Laguna Seca, having just announced a massive investment prior to the event.
Kanaan discusses Christian Lundgaard’s assimilation into the team this year, Pato O’Ward’s maturation, a mega new factory for 2026 which was announced last week, and having a picture of Alex Palou “on his fridge” as he and his team try to topple the Ganassi driver’s dominance.
Elsewhere there’s more from the Laguna Seca race including an absurd incident involving Marcus Ericsson and another big achievement by new team Prema Racing.
