Kevin Magnussen is to make his IndyCar debut at the next race, standing in for the injured Felix Rosenqvist at Arrow McLaren SP.

When it was confirmed that Magnussen would be leaving the F1 grid after 2020, with Haas opting to drop him and team-mate Romain Grosjean, the Dane stated an interest in moving to IndyCar.

“IndyCar has been something that I’ve been interested in always,” he said.

“My dad was an IndyCar driver back in the nineties and I’ve been to into IndyCar races with him as a small child and just always thought it was super cool.
