US EditionIndyCar Champion Alex Palou Attends Court in London in Breach-of-Contract Dispute with McLaren
McLaren seeks $20 million for losses after Alex Palou breached his 2022 IndyCar contract by remaining with Chip Ganassi Racing and winning three consecutive titles.
- On Monday, four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou arrived at the Commercial Court in London to begin the civil trial opening McLaren Racing's breach-of-contract lawsuit.
- Palou's late-2022 deal to join McLaren's IndyCar team conflicted with Chip Ganassi Racing's option, causing the aborted move years ago and spawning the legal dispute.
- McLaren's legal team seeks $19.7 million, while Palou, a four-time IndyCar champion, won the Indianapolis 500 last month, amid ongoing success on track.
- Witness lists include Alex Palou and McLaren Chief Executive Zak Brown, with the trial due to conclude this year; Palou's legal team claims McLaren tries to `take Mr Palou to the cleaners` despite his admission of breach.
- The case plays out amid McLaren Racing's rise in F1 and Alex Palou's continued IndyCar success, with McLaren winning last year's constructors' title and drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris leading this year's standings.
