Other [@wearetherace] McLaren has cancelled Pato O’Ward’s planned joint Formula E and IndyCar demo in Mexico next month because of “logistical challenges” that couldn’t be sorted in time

Very disappointing.
The Gen3 Evo show car will be in Mexico so unsure what logistical challenges McLaren might have faced.

Yeah really wierd. Just seems odd they can't ship an Indycar to Mexico.

Jeff Dodds was also still sort of hyping it up last week in an interview with TalkSport where he said they have something exciting for the fans at Mexico. So FE side of things it was still in play last week.

Unless maybe Indycar stepped in and stopped it which would be odd or maybe FIA stopped it for whatever reason.

Could it be Pato to F1 type of logistical challenge?

Did Mark Miles think it was Adrian Fernandez who was driving and cancel it because it’s whoever the hell Pato is
