Alex Palou, the Spaniard who can win the Indianapolis 500 before Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso left Formula 1 to enter history becoming the second driver to win the Triple Crown. Given that he had already won a Formula 1 World Cup, he needed to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500. It was precisely this last race that Alonso resisted, which is why he has not been able to match Graham Hill. Now another Spaniard, Alex Palou, is in an enviable position to claim victory in the Indianapolis 500, which the Catalan will aspire to this Sunday, May 30 from 6:00 p.m. when he gets on board his Chip Ganassi number 10. “I am very confident. We have a great car and that gives me a lot of confidence because I don’t care what happens on the track because we can adapt. Above all we are doing well in traffic, we have worked a lot on this aspect and we will be able to overtake, “said Alex Palou at a press conference. On the importance of the appointment, the 24-year-old driver commented:” If you do well this week, because if you win here you become part of the history of Indianapolis and world motorsport. A career can change your life. They will never introduce you as Alex Palou, but as Alex Palou, champion of the Indianapolis 500. Winning is the goal, but if it doesn’t happen it’s not the end of the world because we will have other opportunities. ”Regarding the strategy for the race, Alex Palou added:“ We started sixth, in second row. In two laps we can be first. It’s going to be difficult and anything can happen but we have options. I really want to”.Scott Dixon endorses Alex Palou for the Indianapolis 500Scott Dixon, the Spaniard’s teammate, acknowledged at a press conference that he can win the Indianapolis 500: “Unfortunately, yes, I see him with options. He is a great teammate and friend, who has also worked very hard since he arrived. You know what it’s like to win, you did it in the first race of the year ”. “I think we are not going to find a nicer person on the whole grid. If I don’t win the race, I hope one of my teammates wins it and Alex has the opportunity to do so ”, he added when questioned by Alex Palou. Alex Palou’s maturity according to his boss In the same vein as Scott Dixon, Chip Ganassi’s crew chief, Barry Wanser, sees the Catalan ready for the Indianapolis 500: “We think he has the maturity to win. He didn’t have the best race with the accident last year in his rookie year, but he’s already shown it in Texas and he’s capable of it. ”“ Alex is fast and he’s very confident. It gives very good information. We are working to grow from there, which is what we are trying with the rest of the team. He is going very well, he is happy and we are also happy with the three cars. We’ll see what happens this weekend. He is capable of doing it ”, he concluded.Montoya, like Alonso, seeks the Triple CrownWith the return of Fernando Alonso to the Gran Circo, the one who can become the second rider in history to win the Triple Crown is Juan Pablo Montoya. Although it is true that the Colombian never won a Formula 1 World Championship, he has won the Monaco Grand Prix, which also allows him to qualify for the Triple Crown.As for Juan Pablo Montoya, he already knows what it’s like to win the Indianapolis 500, he just needs to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
