comes the IndyCar to May, month of the Indianapolis 500 and does it with Alex Palou as leader of the general after his podium in Barber, in the last GP. And the Barcelonan’s next appointment will be precisely at the Indianapolis Motor Speedwaybut in its interior configuration for the GMR GP of the Indy (Sunday 9:00 p.m.), with a part of the oval in which the 500 Miles. Palou has one eye on them, after brushing last year the victory that took him by little Helio Castroneves.
But first it’s time to defend the leadership and continue fighting for a victory that resists the 2021 champion. Team Penske, with three wins, and McLaren, with one, are the teams that know what it’s like to win this season, but the leader belongs to Ganassi and he is also satisfied with the results, three podiums in four races, with two street circuits and one oval, which are not the best for the Spaniard: “We have survived. It wasn’t the best track combination for us so far, and Penske has been very, very strong. The three podiums give us some momentum, some confidence, some happiness. it will be good”, explains Palou.
In addition, the rivals already know how the Spanish spends them and their ambitions. “It’s as solid as a rock,” warns Will Power. In this same scenario, Palou finished third last year, behind VeeKay and Grosjean. Later he would be second in the 500, already in the complete oval. There are things pending with that, but it will be at the end of the month when he plays the revenge for the drink of milk. Now he defends the three points advantage over Scott McLaughlin and the nine over Josef Newgarden. And neither should we forget Will Power himself, Patricio O’Ward, re-engaged with the title after his triumph at Barber, or Scott Dixon. “We are having fun and everything is working for us, and we hope that we can continue like this for a long time,” explains Palou before Sunday’s appointment
