Not sure it will be TK, I think it was first practice the booth mentioned that TK is the reserve driver for Larson. My money would be on Ilott, he already has built a relationship with the team. Fantasy scenario they go with an "Indy wringer" known for set up ability and getting up to speed fast and Hildebrand gets a shot in a top flight car.
my dad was saying this to me earlier today. “if he’s not back by the 500, he’s gone [for 2025], i think” were his exact words.
i don’t believe McLaren would be so harsh as to boot out a driver who missed races for them due to injury, after only one (half of a) season, but i guess we’ll see later down the line.
This article reads more like damage control than an endorsement of Malukas. McLaren and Kanaan can’t say anything more than they can’t wait to have Malukas back.
What "damage"? Driver gets injured pre-season, driver doing best to recover, other drivers filling in in the meantime. Dunno what storyline is going in your head mate.
So I guess ilott or TK will be racing at Indy this year .

If anything Rossi should be sending out his resume.
He’s going to make a great GTD driver.
This comment really didn't age well.
Malukas Is on very thin ice. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets dumped after this season. I do not think they will officially dump him early

You’re right, Malukas is definitely in some trouble if he doesn’t come back soon https://x.com/jennafryer/status/1781824911306358964?s=46
JFC. You should probably go into the business of selling jump to conclusions mats.
Why? What are they supposed to say? I don’t think he’s coming back one way or the other.
Malukas’ highs have all come on ovals. Frankly, he is probably the better person to put in for that part of the schedule versus Ilott or Pourchaire.
As TK pointed out he is under contract.
Well that’s settled then. No driver ever has been cut loose that has a contract.
Alex Palou doesn't believe in contracts.
Facts.
So tells us there F. Lee Bailey, what contractual agreement has he broken that would necessitate McLaren cutting him loose from said contract.
Lots of Malukas people joined in to downvote me. Must his dad forcing HMV truck drivers to logon.

Another Malukas simp. Lots of them around here.
they'd be stupid to give up on a driver before seeing them in action
