Brown takes fresh swipe at Palou after latest driver deal
McLaren CEO Zak Brown expressed his disappointment with Alex Palou after Palou backed out of his contract to join McLaren’s IndyCar operation and become their reserve driver. Ryo Hirakawa has now been hired as a 2024 reserve driver, alongside his commitments in the Toyota World Endurance Championship. Brown stated that they have a few reserve drivers due to the busy schedule, but one of them chose not to join for the second half of the year. While praising Hirakawa’s talent, Brown mentioned that they have other drivers under contract and need to be prepared to react if a situation arises where a driver needs to step in.
