Yuki Tsunoda, a Formula 1 veteran, is reportedly in talks to secure a 2027 seat with Meyer Shank Racing in IndyCar. Motorsport.com reveals Tsunoda is eyeing the #66 position, a move that could bring him to the United States for a fresh chapter in open-wheel racing. Current IndyCar driver Marcus Armstrong is set to shift to the #60 car upon the departure of defending Indianapolis 500 champion Felix Rosenqvist.
Tsunoda, who has amassed 111 Grand Prix starts since making his top-tier debut in 2021, is well-versed with Honda machinery. He recently drove a Honda car at a promotional event in Las Vegas ahead of the Grand Prix and received coaching from IndyCar legend Scott Dixon during a short stint at the Las Vegas circuit. Though Tsunoda is not currently contemplating a move to IndyCar, he has expressed openness to the opportunity in the future.
The potential transfer has caught the attention of Meyer Shank co-owner Mike Shank, who stated that the team is evaluating various options from different forms of motorsports.
