The Spanish driver, champion of the last edition of Indycar in 2021, signs for McLaren in search of his dream of competing in F1.
Alex Palou, Indycar champion driver, has decided to go one step further in his sports career by joining the structure of McLaren, which has teams in F1, Indycar, and Formula E.
This decision has not the without controversy in his current team. Chip Ganassi Racing had already issued a statement, without Palou's consent, stating that the team has exercised its right to extensively contract Alex Palou due to his strong performance in Indycar. Everything indicates that this soap opera will last for a while.
This movement of the Catalan driver towards McLaren can be understood as a possible position in an F1 single-seater in the future. Everything indicates that Alex will continue one more year in Indycar and that his jump to McLaren F1 could take place in 2024.
The pilot who has the keys to this transfer is Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian driver is not given an optimum level in the English team, with which both the team and the driver want to seek a separation once their current contract ends.
Daniel Ricciardo himself has spoken about his future in recent hours through an Instagram story and on Twitter.
