It’s shaping up to be a massive year for Kiwi IndyCar driver Marcus Armstrong. 

He’s joined up with Meyer Shank Racing, joining Felix Rosenqvist in the team's lineup – competing on all the oval, road, and street races. 

Armstrong comes from a background of F4, Formula 3 and Formula 2, and told Mike Hosking that over the years he feels like he’s grown better at working with his team. 

“There’s 350 people that we work closely with, and making sure that we communicate properly and explain our thoughts of how we want the car to be developed without, y’know... involving your ego too much.” 

“So, being very self-critical and honest about what we can do better from a team perspective, and communicating properly. I think that’s probably the thing I’ve improved in the most.” 

In IndyCar, you’re often racing at speeds averaging about 240 miles an hour, a speed that’s hard for the human brain to keep up with. 

“You need to keep your eyes 200 meters further ahead than what you’re used to,” Armstrong told Hosking. 

“If you sort of look where you normally look, you’re already past that point.”
