Dixon's Move Leaves Buxton Baffled

FOX broadcaster Will Buxton expressed disbelief as Arrow McLaren parted ways with third-place Christian Lundgaard to sign six-time champion Scott Dixon.

Arrow McLaren announced Monday that Dixon and former McLaren driver Felix Rosenqvist will join the team, while Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel will not return in 2027. Buxton compared the move to "Messi to Miami," noting Lundgaard has podium finishes in 39% of his races with McLaren.

The decision appears focused on winning the Indy 500 rather than the championship, with Lundgaard's road-course wins contrasting with his oval challenges. Dixon brings a "championship mentality" as a six-time champ, but Buxton questioned how this aligns with McLaren's championship aspirations. cricket-ipl.co.za
