Spanish IndyCar driver Alex Palou will be one of McLaren’s Formula 1 reserve drivers in 2023. The 25-year-old will be McLaren’s reserve at all grands prix that do not clash with his commitments in IndyCar, where Palou races for the Ganassi team. Palou, who won the 2021 IndyCar title, this year drove for McLaren in practice at the US Grand Prix and in two private tests. Earlier this year, Palou was involved in a contract dispute between McLaren and Ganassi in IndyCar, when both teams said he was under contract to them for the 2023 season. It is expected that Palou will switch to McLaren’s IndyCar team in 2024.
