Alex Palou has clarified his stance on mo🧜v🍒ing to F1 after winning the Indy 500.

Palou has taken IndyCar by storm in🏅 2025 culminating with a brilliant win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last Sunday.

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

Now Palou insists thaꦦt F1 is no longer🌜 an ambition.

“I don’t want to leave now,” he told the Indy Sta🔯r.

“Even if they say, ‘No, don’t worry, youꦓ can come back in one or two years, what if suddenly everyone is here and I’m never able to catch back up to them?

“And it wasn’t in my min𒐪d last y🌠ear, and it’s not in my mind this year.

“It’s getting less and less anꩲd 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 ama𓆏zing. I’m a big fan, but I don’t think they’re having as much fun as I’m having here.

“I don’t see people celebrating with thei෴r wives and their kids 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 w🍷ith my people, so I think [F1] is th🌸e total opposite.”

Palou admඣits he is not as famous or rich as Spanish compatriots Carlos Sainz or Fe𒀰rnando Alonso, but he doesn’t care.

He isn’t looking at t💃he 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 n🐲ow.

“It’s pretty tough to beat.

“An𝔍d eve🐼n still, you only have four races, and you’re out, like we’ve seen twice this year?”
