Marcus John Armstrong (born 29 July 2000) is a professional racing driver from New Zealand currently competing in the IndyCar series, piloting the No. 66 Honda for Meyer Shank Racing. His previous experience includes participation in the FIA Formula 2 Championship between 2020 and 2022, and he was the runner-up in the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship. Armstrong was affiliated with the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2017 until 2021.
Armstrong's entry into single-seater racing began in 2014, and he secured his only single-seater championship title by winning the 2017 Italian F4 Championship. That same year, he also finished second in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship. In 2018, he competed in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, ending the season in fifth place. When this series evolved into the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2019, Armstrong achieved second place behind his teammate Robert Shwartzman. Advancing to the Formula 2 Championship in 2020 with ART Grand Prix, he encountered difficulties and ended the year 13th overall. He maintained this position in both the 2021 season with DAMS and the 2022 season driving for Hitech Grand Prix before moving on to IndyCar.
Karting (2010–2016)
Hailing from Christchurch, Armstrong embarked on his karting career in 2010 and dominated New Zealand's karting scene by winning all major titles between 2011 and 2014. On the global stage, his top achievement was a twelfth-place finish in the KF2 category at the 2015 Karting World Championship. Motorsport.com recognized him as the third most promising karting talent in their 2016 rankings.
2014–2016: Early single-seater years
While continuing karting activities, Armstrong made his single-seater debut during the 2014–15 New Zealand Formula Ford Championship, concluding the season seventh overall. In November 2015, he participated in a test session for a Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 vehicle. The following year, he competed full-time in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship and took part as a guest driver in several Formula Renault 2.0 events, finishing ninth and tenth at Estoril respectively.
Italian F4
Armstrong became a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy in December 2016 and raced under Prema Powerteam during both the ADAC F4 and Italian F4 championships throughout 2017. Despite a slow start marked by three third-place finishes and two rounds without points, he claimed his inaugural victory at Vallelunga. He followed this with three additional wins and consistently reached podium positions during the second Mugello event. His performance culminated in clinching the Italian F4 championship title at Monza with two races still to go, demonstrating swift advancement within Ferrari’s driver development structure.
ADAC F4
Simultaneously contesting all rounds of the ADAC F4 series alongside his Italian F4 campaign, Armstrong overcame two initial non-scoring rounds to achieve his first win at the Red Bull Ring, complemented by two podium finishes. His momentum persisted at Oschersleben, where he secured another victory and a second-place finish. A subsequent triumph at the Nürburgring brought him into title contention; however, he ultimately concluded as runner-up by a narrow margin of 4.5 points behind eventual champion and future Formula 2 teammate Jüri Vips.
2017
In December of 2016, Armstrong was announced as part of M2 Competition’s lineup for the 2017 Toyota Racing Series. He immediately made an impact by winning on debut during the season opener but retired from race three following a collision. Armstrong secured another victory at Hampton Downs during race one of round three but did not finish the final race due to contact with competitor Richard Verschoor. He closed out the series strongly with a win and two second-place finishes during the final round, ultimately placing fourth overall in the championship standings.
2018
In 2018, Armstrong made a comeback to the Toyota Racing Series driving for M2 Competition. He kicked off the season with a strong performance, securing third place in the opening race and then winning the subsequent two events; however, these remained his sole victories throughout the year. Armstrong consistently reached the podium at Teretonga and Hampton, which helped him build a 41-point advantage. Yet, during the next five races, he managed only one podium finish, narrowing his lead to just ten points ahead of second-placed Robert Shwartzman and maintaining a 23-point gap over Richard Verschoor. A mechanical issue while leading in the final laps forced him to settle for seventh place, allowing Shwartzman and Verschoor to surpass him. Ultimately, Armstrong concluded the championship in third position, trailing Shwartzman—the title winner—by 15 points.
2019
Armstrong returned once again to compete in the 2019 season with M2 Competition. He started strongly by achieving podium finishes in all three initial races and claimed his first victory at Teretonga. At Hampton Downs, he won two out of four races, which enabled him to take over the championship lead from fellow New Zealander Liam Lawson. Despite encountering suspension problems at Taupo, Armstrong secured a win in the last race of that round but lost the championship lead back to Lawson by five points heading into the final round. In the first race of this decisive round, Armstrong defeated Lawson but finished behind him in the following two races. Lawson secured the championship by a margin of ten points, with Armstrong finishing second overall after accumulating 346 points and five victories.
2018
Armstrong progressed to the 2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Prema Racing, teaming up with fellow Ferrari juniors Robert Shwartzman and Guanyu Zhou. He achieved a podium finish in only his second race at the Pau and secured second place at the Hungaroring. His inaugural win came at the Norisring, where he also added two more podiums and assumed the lead in the championship standings. Armstrong held onto this lead through two more rounds, collecting an additional pair of podiums.
At Silverstone, issues with tyre degradation caused him to lose his championship lead to Dan Ticktum. During the event at Misano, he finished second in Race 1 but failed to score points in the next two races, including retiring from pole position due to a collision. Armstrong earned his ninth podium at the Red Bull Ring, contributing significantly to his team's title victory. Nevertheless, three consecutive retirements during the final round at Hockenheimring saw him drop from third place to fifth overall, ending the season with 260 points.
Macau Grand Prix
In his debut appearance at the season-closing Macau Grand Prix, Armstrong finished eighth, matching his qualifying race result.
2019
Armstrong continued with Prema Racing for the inaugural season of the FIA Formula 3 Championship, alongside former teammates from 2018, Robert Shwartzman and Jehan Daruvala. In April, he joined Nicolas Todt’s All Road Management program. At the opening round in Barcelona, Armstrong qualified third and finished on the podium in Race 1; he then secured fifth place in Race 2 after a strong start.
At Paul Ricard, he qualified fifth and ended Race 1 in sixth despite contact with Jake Hughes. After stalling from third position in Race 2, he recovered to finish sixth. At the Red Bull Ring, Armstrong achieved his first pole position of the season and finished third in Race 1 following a close battle for victory; however, a puncture on the last lap of Race 2 dropped him from second down to nineteenth.
During Silverstone, he qualified second and took third place in Race 1 before finishing fourth in Race 2 after a late overtaking chance. At Hungaroring, despite qualifying only 13th, Armstrong won Race 2 from reverse grid pole with a lights-to-flag drive. Heading into the concluding rounds, he was fourth overall with 98 points.
At Spa-Francorchamps, Armstrong started from 19th on the grid but managed eighth place in Race 1 and claimed victory in Race 2, dedicating his win to Anthoine Hubert. In Monza, after qualifying second but being demoted to seventh on the grid due to a penalty, he led early in Race 1 before finishing second behind Shwartzman; a time penalty further relegated him to 21st. He failed to score points in Race 2.
At Sochi, Armstrong topped practice sessions and qualified third. He won Race 1 by overtaking Shwartzman on the final lap as Shwartzman secured the championship title. In Race 2, Armstrong advanced to second place by passing Pedro Piquet late on. Finishing as runner-up overall, Armstrong accumulated 158 points with three victories, seven podiums, three poles (including two from reverse grids), and four fastest laps.
Macau Grand Prix
Armstrong made a return to the 2019 Macau Grand Prix, where he started from seventeenth position and ultimately secured eighth place overall.[1][2][3] In the same year, he was placed seventh in Motorsport.com's ranking of the top 20 junior single-seater drivers.[4]
Macau Grand Prix (2023)
In November 2023, Armstrong unexpectedly re-entered Formula 3 competition at the 2023 Macau Grand Prix representing MP Motorsport, citing a desire to resolve "unfinished business".[5][6] He completed the race in 18th position, trailing behind his teammates Dennis Hauger and Mari Boya.[7]
2020
On 28 November 2019, Armstrong progressed to the 2020 FIA Formula 2 Championship by signing with ART Grand Prix, where he teamed up with Christian Lundgaard.[8] He expressed optimism ahead of his first season.[9] During the postponed season opener in Austria, Armstrong qualified 13th and leveraged early pit stop strategies alongside competitors’ misfortunes to achieve second place in his debut feature race.[10][11] Although he started strongly in the sprint race, a mechanical issue forced him to retire.[12][13]
At the subsequent Austrian round, he qualified 12th, finished seventh in the feature race, and earned his second podium by climbing to third in the sprint race after capitalizing on a rival’s problem.[14][15][16]
Armstrong then endured a six-round points drought. In Hungary, after qualifying inside the top ten for the first time, contact during the feature race caused damage that led to retirement.[17] He narrowly missed scoring points by finishing ninth in the sprint race.[18] The following rounds produced moderate outcomes. At Mugello, Armstrong matched his best qualifying performance by starting fourth, ran sixth during the feature race, and finished ninth to add to his points tally.[19][20][21]
In Russia, he secured ninth place in the feature race but slipped to 14th in a red-flagged sprint race due to an error.[22] Qualifying fourth once more in Bahrain, Armstrong ended seventh in the feature race and achieved fourth place in the sprint after a competitive drive.[23][24][25]
He wrapped up the season ranked 13th with 52 points, trailing teammate Lundgaard who amassed 149 points. Armstrong’s rookie F2 campaign included two podium finishes and five additional points-scoring results.[26][27][28]
2021
For the 2021 season, Armstrong switched to DAMS, partnering with Roy Nissany. After leading pre-season testing timesheets, he qualified 13th at the opening round but encountered technical difficulties and inconsistent race outcomes, ultimately finishing fifth in the feature race. During Monaco, he qualified 14th and demonstrated strong overtaking skills; however, mechanical failures and collisions marred his weekend.
At Baku, Armstrong started sixth on the grid and finished seventh in sprint race one. Sprint race two was cut short due to a collision, while a first-lap accident forced retirement from the feature race. By this stage, he had accumulated only 12 points, lagging behind his teammate. At Silverstone, Armstrong achieved his first podium finish in over a year by securing second place in sprint race two.
In Monza, Armstrong qualified seventeenth and posted modest results in sprint races but managed ninth place in the feature race following a safety car restart. At Sochi, he consistently finished eleventh across both races.
The inaugural Jeddah event proved pivotal as Armstrong earned his maiden F2 victory in sprint race one by fending off pressure from fellow New Zealander Liam Lawson. Despite involvement in a collision during sprint race two, he still collected points by finishing eighth in the shortened feature race. At Yas Marina, Armstrong showed further potential but retired from sprint race two due to engine failure and concluded seventh in the feature event.
He completed the season placed thirteenth overall with 49 points, including two podiums and five additional points finishes, outperforming teammate Nissany. Reflecting on his year, Armstrong cited limited data availability as a challenge that hindered efforts to improve performance.
2022
Following post-season evaluations, Armstrong secured a seat with Hitech Grand Prix for the 2022 Formula 2 Championship, teaming up with Jüri Vips. He maintained a strong commitment to achieving a Formula 1 opportunity, emphasizing his determination to "not give up" and his intention to explore "every possible avenue" throughout 2022.
At the season opener in Bahrain, Armstrong qualified in 13th position but was forced to retire early in the sprint race due to contact. He bounced back to claim fifth place in the feature race. In Jeddah, despite starting third after a competitor’s disqualification, he spun out and retired from the sprint race, later recovering to finish fifth in the feature event following late-race overtakes.
Armstrong earned his first victory of the year at Imola by winning the sprint race from second on the grid, even though he lost radio communication during the event. However, an early safety car period disrupted his strategy in the feature race, resulting in a 16th-place finish. In Barcelona, he advanced from 13th on the grid to seventh in the feature race by employing an alternative strategy.
Monaco marked Armstrong’s first double points haul of the season, finishing third in the sprint and seventh in the feature race, which elevated him to fourth in the championship standings. At Baku, he secured fourth place in the sprint but was relegated to 12th in the feature after contact forced an unscheduled pit stop.
At Silverstone, Armstrong collected points with ninth place in the sprint and eighth in the feature race. He then dominated the sprint race at the Red Bull Ring from reverse pole position but retired from the feature due to a collision on a track that was drying.
During the French round, Armstrong qualified eighth but encountered penalties following collisions; he finished 14th in the sprint after a penalty and retired on lap one of the feature race. Budapest was notable for his first front-row start; he ended seventh in the sprint and sixth in the feature despite losing positions due to a slow pit stop.
At Spa-Francorchamps, Armstrong improved from 12th to seventh in the sprint race but dropped to 13th in the feature after receiving a penalty. His performance at Zandvoort was stronger—he won the sprint race starting second but finished 14th in the feature after a safety car interrupted his alternate strategy.
Qualifying third at Monza initially positioned him well; however, penalties for pit lane infringements relegated him to 11th for the sprint and 12th for the feature race. His Abu Dhabi weekend passed without incident, concluding with a ninth-place finish in the feature race. Armstrong wrapped up the season ranked 13th overall with a total of 93 points.
Formula One
In November 2016, Armstrong was selected as one of five drivers invited into the Ferrari Driver Academy, with his membership officially confirmed early in 2017. He debuted in Formula One testing at Fiorano Circuit in January behind the wheel of the 2018 Ferrari SF71H, describing it as "relatively straightforward to handle." He returned to Fiorano for further testing of the same car in April, covering more than 200 km. After concluding the 2021 season, Armstrong and Ferrari parted ways; he reflected that continuing with the FDA had become "a dead end."
IndyCar
In October 2022, Armstrong undertook an IndyCar test with Dale Coyne Racing at Sebring International Raceway. Post-test, team principal Dale Coyne identified him as a "very promising candidate" for their intended expansion to three cars for the 2023 IndyCar Series.
2023 season
On December 2, 2022, Chip Ganassi Racing announced Armstrong as the driver for the No. 11 car (previously No. 48) on road and street circuits throughout the 2023 campaign. As a rookie, Armstrong sought to rapidly close the performance gap with seasoned teammates Scott Dixon, Marcus Ericsson, and Álex Palou. He made his debut at the St. Petersburg event, finishing 11th—only three spots behind a fellow Ganassi driver. His subsequent outing at the Long Beach race saw him improve to eighth place.
During races six through nine, Armstrong consistently achieved top-10 finishes, reaching his highest position of seventh at the 2023 Honda Indy Toronto. In the following four races he contested, he recorded one additional top-10 result, placing eighth at the Laguna Seca finale despite encountering several on-track challenges. He wrapped up the season ranked 20th in the standings with 214 points and was awarded Rookie of the Year honors, a recognition he described as "a great bonus," especially given that he missed multiple events.
Following the season's conclusion, Armstrong completed his first oval test and successfully passed the Indy Rookie Orientation Programme in October by completing 57 laps, enabling him to participate in the Indy 500 in 2024.
2024 season
Armstrong renewed his contract with Chip Ganassi Racing, stepping into a full-time role for the 2024 season. At the Sonsio Grand Prix, he secured fifth place after challenging for the lead during the race. His inaugural appearance at the Indy 500 was cut short due to engine failure. Armstrong earned his first podium finish in IndyCar by taking third at the Detroit Grand Prix, followed by four top-10 results over the final six races—including two fifth-place finishes—culminating in a 14th-place overall finish with 298 points.
2025 season
After completing two seasons with Chip Ganassi Racing, Armstrong transitioned to Meyer Shank Racing for the 2025 season, where he teamed up with fellow driver Felix Rosenqvist.
FIA World Endurance Championship
In November 2022, Armstrong ventured into endurance racing for the first time by testing an LMP2 Alpine car for Signatech at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Personal life
Armstrong co-hosts Screaming Meals, a podcast focusing on motorsport and culinary topics, alongside motorsport insurance professional James Harvey Blair, Formula 2 competitor Clément Novalak, and IndyCar driver Callum Ilott. Growing up, he admired Kimi Räikkönen, who won the Formula One World Championship in 2007.
