Alex Palou This course has become the protagonist of a massive domain in the IndyCar which has not been seen for many years. His consistency was great, with 5 victories and 5 more podiums in 17 events, where he only finished outside the Top-5 on four occasions, with two eighth positions as the worst results of the year. This, in a category with so much mechanical equality and where the hands make more of a difference than the F1it says a lot about the talent of a young pilot who is only 26 years old to be called upon to go for any record.
Palou is already a two-time IndyCar champion and has almost shut down his attempt to break into F1. He is focused on continuing to win and, above all, chasing one of his dreams, victory in the Indianapolis 500, something he has come close to on several occasions. Exactly, Palou’s tremendous speed and self-confidence on all kinds of tracks, which earned him a two-time champion of IndyCar in his first 4 years in the category, the reasons why one of his rivals on the track, the Argentine Agustín Canapino, gives as reasons to ensure that the Catalan is “better driver than Max Verstappen”, who is about to be proclaimed a three-time F1 champion in a row.
“Palou stands out because for me he is the best driver in the world, in my opinion. If he is not the best, he is among the three best”said the 33-year-old Arrecifes driver in statements to ‘Fox Sports Argentina’.
“In my opinion, Palou is more complete than Verstappen. What Palou does in IndyCar for me is really like an extraterrestrial. But this is a very subjective opinion,” he assured, immediately realizing how bellicose his words were. “Verstappen is also another alien. Don’t let Verstappen’s followers criticize me because I am also in limbo”he added for this reason.
“But for me, the fact of racing on ovals makes IndyCar drivers different. Because for me the oval is the absolute extreme and F1 does not have that. That’s why, for me, a driver like Palou, who marks the difference in all kinds of circuits, in all kinds of disciplines, makes him an extraterrestrial”, Agustín concludes that Alex Palou is destined to dominate America’s premier single-seater competition for many years. His class is worthy of F1, but only if he gets a chance in conditions that seem complicated.
