Days After Legal Threat, Alex Palou Humiliates Zak Brown by Scripting History

“I’m going to wrap this up with a win,” Alex Palou told his team boss, Chip Ganassi, before taking his car on to the Portland International Raceway. Staying true to his word, he wrapped up the IndyCar Championship in its penultimate round with a marvelous victory against teammate Scott Dixon. But in the background of his 2nd IndyCar Championship, the lawsuit by Arrow McLaren’s Zak Brown still looms.

It was a weekend to cherish for Motorsport fans. In Formula 1, Max Verstappen, against an unrelenting Italian crowd, got his 10th consecutive in 2023 to make it to the history books. And IndyCar was headlined by Chip Ganassi Racing and Palou’s win at Portland. And keep in mind, the 26-year-old Spanish racer has done this against all odds. After signing a deal with Arrow McLaren for a driver’s seat for 2024 and beyond, he backtracked to leave Zak Brown hanging. Consequently, Brown filed a lawsuit against him that is still active in the U.K. Commercial Court.

But none of this mattered when he took center stage at Portland to seize a comprehensive victory. In a post-race interview, Palou said, “We knew we had to go for it, and we just raced how we’ve been doing all season. I love this. I never thought I’d be an IndyCar champion, and to be one two times feels like a dream.”

What felt like a dream to him must’ve been nothing short of a nightmare for Brown. As if his opposing party winning the race and the championship wasn’t enough, Ganassi has added insult to injury for him.

In a cunning move with Zak Brown, Oscar Piastri ditched the Alpine F1 team to join the McLaren F1 team. Months after that, the boomerang came back to hit him back as Alex Palou did the same with Arrow McLaren, Brown’s IndyCar team. And now, despite the lawsuit being filed, Chip Ganassi, the owner of Chip Ganassi Racing, has ended the topic.

After Palou’s thumping win at Portland, Ganassi told NBC Sports, “Alex Palou’s going to be in our car. I can tell you that. Sure.” So much effort and stress was taken by the McLaren CEO for nothing.

Palou’s Championship win is the ultimate bee-sting for Brown. The latter’s money and resources have been invested into the former and he still continues with his current team. Yikes!
