Marcus Armstrong is a New Zealand racing driver who currently competes in IndyCar for Hitech Grand Prix. He came through the junior single-seater ladder as a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy between 2017 and 2021, a period that included competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship from 2020 to 2022 and finishing runner-up in the 2019 Formula 3 championship. That European open-wheel background provided the foundation for his subsequent move into American open-wheel racing.[1]

Across 148 IndyCar starts, Armstrong has taken 4 career wins and 16 podium finishes, though he has yet to win a championship. His Racer Rating stands at 5,525, placing him 152nd among active drivers on a scale where the leading competitors in the sport sit between roughly 10,000 and 11,500. In the 2026 season he has yet to register a win or a podium through 10 rounds, sitting 11th in the standings, reflecting a campaign in which he has remained a consistent presence in the field without yet breaking through to the front-running positions.[2]
