This is one of the best races in the world. Every motor enthusiast dreams of winning the F1 Monaco GP, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500. This last one was what he longed for most Alex Palou. And it could be that day.
Last year he made history by becoming second in the iconic American race. He breathed, just a bend from triumph to the famous Indianapolis oval. He spent 35 laps alternating in the lead Castroneves, in a good slipstream game where only one can win. And there, he touched the cross. It was time for him to make the final overtake on the final lap, but a group of lap riders gave Helio a key slipstream that allowed him to defend his first position. palou He acknowledged to MD that he had seen that many times and he had learned from that battle. He touched it with his fingers but it couldn’t. This is secondly, the best result of a Spanish fiction test, which Oriol Servia It was 4th in 2012, or where Alonso dreamed of success, leading much of the career to his debut in 2017 before his engine failed.
After what happened last year, Palou did what seemed even harder, as the first Spaniard to win the IndyCar title. He conquered America. And now, as the current tournament champion, he will return to the most important oval in the world to once again challenge its fearsome walls.
Alex Palou (Sant Antoni de Vilamajor, 25 years old) will start in second place. Last year he contested victory starting 6th and despite having traffic, he knew how to wait for his moment to continue to attack and fight for victory. This time it came after being the best in speed racing in previous training sessions before being 14th in a carb days accident in which he did not venture.
First came his partner and 6 -time champion of IndyCar Scott Dixon, winner of the Indy500 in 2008 and second three times (2007, 2021 and 2020). And next to them, the Dutch Rinus Veekaywith the carpenter in fourth position, ex-F1 Marcus Ericsson from fifth, and the winner of the 2013 500 Miles, Tony Canaan, in the sixth. But in this 200-lap race, anyone can win the Indy500 lottery because of the accidents and delays that usually exist and the equality that exists.
Nasa IndyCar they all have the same chassis, there are only two types of engine (cars with Honda or Chevrolet engines) and the big difference is made by the hands, engineers, technique and settings, which the teams using the car are looking for this, especially for Indy, for a whole year working here from the end of 500 Miles past. In that sense, Palou arrives carrying his homework very well and at IndyCar they put him as a favorite. He will go for it. wants to make history
