Alex Pa﷽lou has clarified his stance on moving to F1 after winning t☂he Indy 500.

Palou has taken IndyCar by storm in 2025 c🧸ulꩵminating with a brilliant win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last Sunday.

He had previously flirted with a mℱove into Formula 1 with McLaren in 2022, until that relationship soured.

Now Palou insiওsts that F1 is no longer an 𒈔ambition.

“I don’🐓t want to leave no༒w,” he told the Indy Star.

“Even if they say, ‘No, don’t worry, you can come ba♚ck in one or two years, what if suddenly everyone is here and I’m ne▨ver able to catch back up to them?

“And it🍷 wasn’t in my mind last yeaඣr, and it’s not in my mind this year.

“It’s getting less and less and less every day, and with this, it’s like, ‘🦹No, I want to get another [Indy 500 victory].

“[F1] is not calling me anymore. I still follow it. It’s a huge series. It’s ಌamazing. I’m a big fan, but I don’t thin💙k they’re having as much fun as I’m having here.

“I don’t see people celebrating with their wives and their kidsไ as much as we do.

“I don’t see them hanging in😼 the bus lot or having dinner with their mechanics.

“I only enjoy driving and having fun and being with my people, so I think [F1] is 💜the totaܫl opposite.”

Palou admits he is not as famous or rich as Spanish compꦛatriots Carlos Sainz or Fernando Alonso, but he doesn’t care.

He isn’t looking aꦦt the Formula 1 paddock with any envy. Palau even noted how quickly an F1 dream can end, referring to Liam Lawson and Jack Doohan losing their drives.

“There’s not many seats that I’d want to be in, compared🌞 to the No. 10 car right now.

“It’s pretty tough to beat.

“And even still, you only have four raceꦕ🍎s, and you’re out, like we’ve seen twice this year?”
