McLaren announces a deal with Palou just four hours after Ganassi issues statement saying it had picked up Palou's option.
Defending NTT IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou is leaving Chip Ganassi Racing after the current season, and he will be racing for McLaren Racing in 2023.
“Alex’s track record speaks for itself,” said Team Owner Chip Ganassi. “He’s a proven champion and one of the most formidable drivers in the world. We are very excited to continue working together.” Instead, the 25-hour Palou will join McLaren for the IndyCar season. The deal will also include an opportunity to test the McLaren 2021 MCL35M Formula 1 car. Fellow IndyCar drivers Pato O'Ward and Colton Herta are also part of that McLaren F1 testing program.
Zak Brown, CEO, McLaren Racing believes that his team's deal with Palou is good for 2023, despite the Ganassi release that claims it has the option on Palou's services.
