Alex PalouIndycar’s triple champion and winner of four of this year’s five races, he told an interview with Eph that Courage, patience, lucidity when the key elements progress to this week’s 500 miles of IndianapolisThe test where “there is a greater desire to win” in the pilots and the one with a special dream: bring their daughter to the first step of the podium for a picture that will be “best of the best.”
“We all go to the limit, this is the circuit where we go faster, where there are many pilots and where there is more desire to win. Luck may not influence the result a little bit, courage is required, but eventually it is a race, just a race. A little more important, or ultimately the result is of little importance, but it’s just a race, “Palou said in an interview with EFE a few days after the 109th edition of Indy500.
She is in Indianapolis surrounded by her family, one of the great motivations for this week’s career.
“Of course, of course, It is surprising to bring my daughter to the podium. It is the best of the best, being a father has become an incredible experience and, combined with races, has become very special. The good thing is that we only won the ‘course of the road’ (the Sonsio Gran Prix of Indianapolis) and the same podium of 500, and my daughter is with me. It is easier to try to describe what the 500 will win, but it is obvious that this is the goal and it is incredible to have that picture with him at the podium with me, “he said.
Catalan assured at the beginning of the season that, if he would choose, he would go for the third consecutive Indycar championship and then for his first Indy500. The four successes of five and the extraordinary excellence that have been shown to this day, perhaps, we should not choose between one goal or another.
“I hope we don’t have to choose. No one wants to choose clearly. The choice is because it’s hard to win three consecutive championships, to make it you need to win two. There aren’t many pilots managed to win three consecutive championships, but obviously this is what I like Win 500 and the championship for the same year, “he said.
Palou, head of the Chipsei team, has forgotten a historical heritage in Indycar, but emphasizes that he is putting short -term goals. You want to leave a legendary brand in this championship, but it should be a consequence and not the main challenge.
“I know how special time I live and the luck I have a car and like a competitive team. In the long run, if I think about how my sports career ends that you clearly want to remind it to have many successes, many championships and Indy500, but I think it will be more than a short time, “he admitted.
“I think I win every weekend and Pillo has more short -term goals than the long -term season. I think that eventually what makes you happy as you do it,” he insisted.
Palou, 28, will be leaving from the sixth place this Sunday in Indianapolis, the most important trial of the season and one of the most iconic in the world of motoring.
“Fans are what makes it more special. This breed has a lot of history in the rear, a lot of legends, and makes it special. But what’s really special, really different from everything else, are fans and all the shows around this career. Surprisingly, on Saturday we will be all pilots in Indianapolis who make the parade and the whole city is behind us, “he told EFE.
“And in the week more than 350,000 people will come here, it is not convincing. You feel the center of attention all day, incredible, “the triple champion continued.
Palou arrives between the best five in Indy500 in his five participation and experience They taught him the importance of being patient and keep calm at all times of testing.
“It’s complicated. It’s a very long day. You have to have a lot of patience. Even if you have the best car, you spend a moment where the car doesn’t go as you like or doesn’t feel 100 % capable of winning a career, or you suddenly have no rhythm. But everything goes by at that moment, because there are 500 miles and at some point there is something wrong. Eventually it’s how you get up from those moments and if you get to the end with options“He said.
“I have learned a lot, from patience, how to do it, how to manage the race a little more. Things to learn, but I believe and I hope that what we have now is enough to fight, “he concluded.
