A fresh row over 2021 champion Alex Palou's IndyCar future flared up on Saturday after his Chip Ganassi Racing team reacted angrily to McLaren boss Zak Brown saying the Spaniard was reneging on a deal to join his outfit next year.
Palou's apparently now ex-management also chipped in, saying they were "bitterly disappointed" by the 26-year-old driver's decision.
Ganassi said Palou, who is heading for his second IndyCar title, had been under contract with the team since the 2021 season. McLaren's Brown told employees of the Arrow McLaren IndyCar team in a letter sent on Friday that he had been informed by Palou that the driver had "no intention of honouring his contract" for 2024 and beyond.
The argument went to lawyers and in the end Palou stayed at Ganassi but took on a Formula One reserve and testing role with McLaren.
