“I think we are doing the work to be on a list…”. That says Alex Palou when asked about a possible future in Formula 1. He is an outstanding leader of the Indycar and his name sounds strong even for the next season. Although he remarks that he knows nothing.
“I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. But, yes, that day will come. That day will come maybe in two months, three, four. I don’t know. Maybe once the season is over, or maybe later.. We’ll see. But yes, that day will come, and it will be exciting, I suppose”, the Spaniard told ‘Motorsport’.
What seats could be left free? Several pilots are on a tightrope right now. One of them is logan sergeant, from Williams, who is last in the standings. Although for that seat the name of Mick Schumachernow a Mercedes tester.
Another of the names that are highly questioned is that of nyck devries in AlphaTauri. Red Bull, in the words of Marko Helmuthas said directly that it was “a mistake” to make him the partner of Yuki Tsunoda in this 2023.
At Alfa Romeo, Guanyu Zhou ends his contract. And his continuity is not guaranteed for the coming season. There are also doubts in Haas, even with the two pilots: Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg.
The situation of Checo Pérez
Sergio Perez He has a contract with Red Bull, but his latest results have brought him various reviews. And even in the Indycar they ask that Palou take his place. Stefan Wilson said it on his social networks: “What Álex Palou is doing in IndyCar right now is impressive. It would be very interesting to change him to the second Red Bull and see what he could do in Formula 1.”
Palou is currently focused on Indy
Despite these rumors and talking openly about F1, Palou only thinks about IndyCar at the moment: “We are doing the best possible in all the races we have in IndyCar. If an opportunity comes, fine. And if an opportunity does not come, well too. I don’t care much. But obviously by trying we don’t lose anything.”
