McLaren Racing has a hotel room booked in Singapore next week for Alex Palou, who contractually is expected to be the team’s Formula One reserve driver for the remainder of the year.
“It’s pretty surprising how it’s been handled. There’s what happened. But then there’s also how it’s been handled,” Brown said. “I’ll let the court and the facts when they surface allow people to come to their own conclusions as to Alex’s character.”Palou clinched his second title in three years last weekend in Portland, which made Sunday’s race at Laguna Seca fairly meaningless.
But Ganassi revealed this week that as he left Laguna Seca last year, he had a suspicion that Palou ultimately would not leave the team. Palou, meanwhile, is still struggling to explain his about-face. He said his own family has begged for answers, but because of the pending litigation, he’s limited in what he can reveal.
Palou earlier this week sat outside Pebble Beach Golf Links with a small group of reporters and tried to offer as much of an explanation as he could. He indicated his career trajectory changed following his 2021 championship with Ganassi, which triggered Palou’s management group to pursue an F1 seat for the driver.
Palou has since ditched the management agency that negotiated his deal with McLaren and reunited with former IndyCar driver Roger Yasukawa, who represented Palou when he got him out of a racing series in Japan and into IndyCar. Yasukawa also did the deal with Ganassi ahead of Palou’s second season. Palou said he was not surprised that Brown went public about Palou’s change of mind, and he doesn’t regret declining to speak to Brown directly.
