Palou remonta a lo campeón
Álex Palou firmó un inicio de campeón en la primera carrera de la IndyCar 2022, en la que defiende su título. El español partía décimo tras sufrir en la clasificación, pero gracias un magnífico ritmo de carrera y a una excepcional estrategia sobre la única bandera amarilla, en la vuelta 25, y un no menos bueno trabajo de sus mecánicos, se aupó al segundo puesto, por detrás de Scott McLaughlin, quien hizo buena su pole del sábado y logró su primera victoria en el campeonato.

Is Colton Herta America's champion-in-waiting?
Colton Herta is a pleasure to interview, primarily because he can’t help telling the truth. While he’s not going to lay his soul bare and may not reveal everything he’s thinking, if he provides an answer then he means it. For instance, last month during the IndyCar media days, he inevitably had to field questions about Formula 1, having been part of Michael Andretti’s ultimately foiled plan to take control of the Alfa Romeo Sauber team.
