The court battle between McLaren and Alex Palou is coming to a close, with closing arguments presented in the UK court system on Wednesday. The dispute revolves around Palou’s decision to back out of a contract with McLaren to drive for Chip Ganassi Racing instead. McLaren is seeking $20.7 million from Palou for lost sponsorship and earnings. CEO Zak Brown has been actively involved in the proceedings.
