Alex Palou, the two-time NTT IndyCar Series champion, is involved in a long-standing lawsuit with McLaren Racing involving a breach-of-contract claim seeking over $20 million in remuneration. A recent decision in a UK court has prompted both parties to consider mediation, which could potentially take place in the coming months or early in 2025. Unlike arbitration, mediation allows for offers to be proposed without the requirement of acceptance by either side. If mediation fails, a trial in 2025 is anticipated to resolve the dispute. Both McLaren and Palou’s camp have refrained from commenting on the specifics of the case, but express a shared desire to move past the legal proceedings and focus solely on racing. Palou currently leads the championship standings heading into the season finale at Nashville Speedway.
