“Siemens stepping up as the primary partner in Detroit – across not just one, but two of our cars – speaks volumes about the strength and longevity of our partnership. We’re also proud to welcome a world-class brand like Microsoft to the team, especially as technology continues to reshape the future of motorsports. The days ahead in Detroit mark an exciting moment for Siemens, from their collaboration with us at Andretti Global to their Realize LIVE conference following the race weekend. We’re looking forward to seeing this dynamic convergence of innovation, competition and industry leadership come to life.”
MARCUS ERICSSON, DRIVER OF THE NO. 28 SIEMENS HONDA, ANDRETTI GLOBAL:
“I’m looking forward to having Siemens on board with me in Detroit. They’ve been a longtime partner and it’s great that both Kyle and I can represent the Siemens brand this weekend. I have a lot of special memories in Detroit. It’s the place where I got my maiden INDYCAR podium, my first win and I had a second-place finish there last year. I’m excited to get back and fight for the win in the No. 28 Siemens Honda.”
