The punishments that his current team imposed on Alex Palou

Alex Palou finds himself in a difficult situation after announcing that he will not continue with the team in 2023. His new signing became a legal conflict, as Ganassi announced the renewal of the Spanish driver while McLaren announced his signing.

Finally, despite trying to avoid it, Palou had to confirm the signing of McLaren on his own social networks, which means leaving the team where he was declared champion in 2021. Before this announcement , NBC and Motorsport reported that the driver will no longer have remote access to engineering data and car settings. But the pilot himself explained in the statements in the same medium that he could consult the information under the supervision of the team. “I didn’t have access before to data and all that stuff from home, which I understand. This is normal. I would do the same if it were my team. It’s changed, but I understand. Because I don’t miss meetings and stuff like that.”

When talking about how the race went in Toronto, after all the chaos that was created, the Ganassi driver showed that he does not want to be in the eye of the storm and is trying to continue the relationship with the team as before. “I have the same kind of communication with my team and the engineers. It’s hard, especially with my team, with my coworkers, there’s a lot of noise and gossip about our car and so on., and a lot of people ask them more questions than they ask me. Because people know that I will say that I have nothing to say. So I think it’s difficult for them. I’m trying to tell you that my mind is only focused on the number 10 car in 2022. Nothing more. In Toronto and now in Iowa.”

For the rest of the season, the Spanish driver will try to achieve the best possible results with the team of Chip Ganassi, with whom he will talk to in the next races as he indicated.
