Beperelte Alex Palout a McLaren
Alex Palou, the current leader and 2021 champion of the IndyCar, recently withdrew from his contract with McLaren for 2024, which included an IndyCar seat and collaboration in Formula 1. McLaren expressed disappointment in a statement at the time but has now taken legal action against the driver for breach of contract. According to the Racer magazine, McLaren had already paid a significant portion of Palou’s 2024 salary in advance, and the lawsuit aims to recover this amount. The exact sum and other details are not yet known. McLaren has turned to the UK justice system for resolution and stated that they have invested significantly in Palou. The lawsuit is solely between McLaren and Palou, and his current team Chip Ganassi Racing is not involved. The report also states that McLaren is only seeking compensation and will not take legal action to enforce the contract, meaning Palou will not race for Arrow McLaren in 2024. It seems that Palou will continue to partner with Ganassi for years to come, avoiding a repeat of the controversy from last year. In that situation, Palou had agreements with both Ganassi and McLaren for 2023, but ultimately the parties reached an out-of-court agreement, allowing Palou to stay with Ganassi for the season while serving as a test driver and reserve for McLaren in Formula 1.
