P1racenews AI automatic summary:
This driver won’t be joining Red Bull as Max Verstappen’s F1 teammate in 2026
Speculation about IndyCar champion Alex Palou moving to Red Bull F1 has been dismissed as clickbait. A report suggested Palou could replace Yuki Tsunoda next year, but Palou seems to be staying in IndyCar. Red Bull’s options are limited with Tsunoda and Lawson alongside Verstappen this year. They could consider F1’s rookie of the year in 2025, Isack Hadjar. Palou rejected F1 opportunities before, citing the need to perform immediately in F1 as a reason to stay in IndyCar. Ganassi confirmed Palou’s commitment to IndyCar and dismissed the rumors as clickbait.
