Who will be the winner from the Alex Palou contract saga?

The statement contained a quote from team owner Chip Ganassi, stating: “Alex’s track record speaks for itself. He’s a proven champion and one of the most formidable drivers in the world. We are very excited to continue working together.”

Some hours later he tweeted: “I have recently learned from the media that this afternoon, without my approval, Chip Ganassi Racing issued a press release announcing that I would be driving with CGR in 2023. Even more surprising was that CGR’s release included a “quote” which did not come from me.Photo by: Michael L. Levitt /“I did not approve that press release, and I did not author or approve that quote.

Also, it’s a team with a current driver, Daniel Ricciardo, whose days appear numbered in one of its race seats. Someone is going to get that chance to partner Lando Norris in 2024, and surely getting the chance to strut your stuff – as we saw with O’Ward in Abu Dhabi last year and Herta at Portimao – is the best audition in town? Who needs a showreel or PowerPoint when you’ve got telemetry data?

In Ganassi’s legal counsel’s papers entitled ‘emergency motion for expedited recovery’ it seeks documents from McLaren Indy and McLaren Racing – presumably for evidence of Palou’s new contract details. It needs to establish the deal in black and white, but surely this will also reveal the remuneration on offer, which will make an interesting contrast to what CGR’s salary would be.

Some shade has also been thrown in the Indianapolis media about the quality of Palou’s management team, Monaco Increase Management. This is odd, as his direct manager, Roger Yasukawa, is a former IndyCar driver himself and its senior advisor, Daniele Audetto, used to run the Ferrari and Super Aguri F1 teams.Photo by: Chris OwensAs Palou climbs into Ganassi’s machine this weekend, one wonders how it’s going to play out over the rest of the IndyCar season.
