An old friend from Rossi's past has arrived for his test with ASMP. As Malukas, RHR, Kyle Kirkwood, Devlin De Francesco, and Nico Hulkenberg concluded their test. A driver from Rossi's past will attempt to make the grid - 2015 GP2 series champion Stoeffel Vandoorne. Vandoorne drove for McLaren F1 from 2016 thru 2018 and is currently in reserve for Team Mercedes AMG F1 team at the moment and with Mercedes-EQ in Formula E. racer.com/2021/10/26/vandoorne-set-for-arrow-mclaren-sp-indycar-test/

So for Kirkwood, the scholarship he gets -- does that guarantee a few starts?

3 guaranteed + the Indy 500. The rest is up to the sponsors

Love to see Kimi do an oval for once. Now official: Kirkwood to drive the #14. No word about Kellett. But it was any chance that Kellett will split his time with Sebastien Bourdais since he was announced as a part-time driver? Fast fact: Kirkwood becomes the 1st rookie to drive the iconic #14 since AJ IV in 2003 during the IRL days. And that is full-time.
