Alex Palou sc𝓰ored his maiden victory in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday to continue his stellar run in the 2025 IndyCarไ season.

Andretti Global's Marcu🐈s Ericsson grabbed the lead with 25 laps to go courtesy of an off-sequence strategy, which gavꦇe him more than enough fuel to go till the end of the race.

Palou had to resort to some fuel-saving having pitted several laps earlier, but he to🗹ok Ericsson by a surprise by passing him with 14 laps to run.

The Chip Ganassi driver was fortunate that two backmarkers were running just ahe✃ad of him, meaning he wasn't burning as much fuel as he would have he was in clear air.

With five laps to run, he was told by his team that he had saved enough fuel, allowing him to resist a late challenge from Eri💞csson.

This was Palou's first victory at an oval and puts him on t🧸he list of IndꦺyCar's all-time greats.

David Malukas bagged just his second c💦areer podium in IndyCar with an impressive drive to third place, while Arrow McL🎉aren's finished fourth after a slow first pitstop earlier in the race.

The top 10 was co🍷m𓆉pleted by Meyer Shank Racing's Felix Rosenqvist.

Several frontrunners were eliminated from contention over the course of 2♕00 laps at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Ryan Hunter-Reay,🐼 who was on a similar strategy to Ericsson,💛 stalled exiting his pitbox while running in first position.

Conor Daly was also in the lead fight heading into the final 50 laps, but suffered a m♉assive drop-off in tyre performance at the end of his penultimate stint, forcing Juncos Holinger Racing to bring him early into the pits.

Takuma Sato, who led a major portion of the race early on, mꦦissed his braking marker in the pits and fell back through the field.

Josef Newgarden's bid for a third consecutive Indy 500 win ended with a fuel pressure issue. He was running inside the top🙈 10, having starteꦜd 32nd after a penalty, when he parked his car in the pits to retire.

Update: Andretti duo Ericsson and Kirkwood, plus Prema's Ilott were relegated to the three last pos♓itions after failing po💝st-race technical checks
