Álex Palou set to join McLaren Racing from 2023
McLaren Racing have announced the signing of INDYCAR driver Alex Palou, starting from 2023. Palou will also be serving as a test driver for McLaren's Formula One team along with Pato O'Ward and Colton Herta as part of the 2021 MCL35M F1 car testing programme.
Palou will join the British team after the end of the 2022 INDYCAR season and the 25 year-old from Barcelona, who is in his second season in INDYCAR has already had a stellar start to his racing career. Palou won three races and was on the podium eight times in 2021, which saw him win the INDYCAR title last season. Although McLaren haven't announced which series Palou will race in, it is likely that the Spaniard remains in INDYCAR and races for Arrow McLaren SP.
