Alex Palou is not willing to ditch a top-line seat in IndyCar for a drive in Formula 1.
IndyCar star Alex Palou has ruled out pursuing a Cadillac Formula 1 seat in 2026 due to not seeking a career change. Despite racing for Honda-powered Chip Ganassi in IndyCar, rumors linked him to General Motors’ F1 project. Palou’s popularity and success in the US make him a perfect fit for an American F1 team. His journey to IndyCar includes competing in European F3 and Super Formula before setting in the US. Palou, content with his life in America, has no plans to chase his F1 dream after giving it his all previously. He emphasized his commitment to IndyCar, noting his lack of F1 contacts and desire for stability. Palou made these statements before the 109th Indianapolis 500 where he aimed for success after missing an Indy 500 win in his five attempts despite three IndyCar titles in recent years.
