. AlexPalou elated by his dominant win with Ganassi, but remains non-committal over his future IndyCar
on the grid at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, following an engine change grid penalty to defeat the charging off-strategy Josef Newgarden, and 2022 IndyCar champion Will Power, beating them both by over half a minute.
Asked if he thought this was the best car he’d had since he joined Ganassi at the start of 2021, Palou responded, “It was so tough to drive today and all weekend here at Laguna. The grip level from the tarmac is so low so you're fighting all the time, so it never feels like you have a good car even when you're leading by that much!
“They're waiting to see what happens, as all of you guys,” he said. “Fortunately I don't have anything to share. I think everything is moving in the right direction. I don't know if it's going to take one day, one week or one month, but hopefully everything is going to be solved soon. I don't have anything to say clear, but everything is moving the right direction.
When it was pointed out that he finished 35sec ahead of the highest Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet driver and it would surely be difficult to walk away from a car as brilliant as his Ganassi-Honda, Palou grinned and replied: “We'll see what happens, but I wish I was 35 seconds ahead every race.
