Podcast: Ganassi’s week of two halves as Palou fight rumbles on
The Toronto weekend was a strange one for Ganassi, which started with an Alex Palou contract fight and ended with a Scott Dixon win. All that plus more is unpacked by the The Race IndyCar Podcast
This week’s The Race IndyCar Podcast examines the latest in the Alex Palou saga as McLaren and Ganassi fight over him, and the Toronto victory that gets Scott Dixon’s season back on track.
Dixon has finished in the top 10 in all but one race this year but hasn’t had many opportunities to fight for a win, and his topsy-turvy season is examined in the wake of his first win of the season -the 52nd of his career, which puts him level with Mario Andretti for second on the all-time list.
Palou spoke before the weekend about his contract situation and that is also examined, as is Felix Rosenqvist’s podium and his role in the Palou mess.
Colton Herta’s fresh start is assessed after he delivered a second-place finish in the sort of scenario where he’s lost out before through mistakes, while Graham Rahal, David Malukas and Callum Ilott are also discussed after interesting weekends.
Host duo Jack Benyon and JR Hildebrand also reflect on the previous episode, which ranked the top 10 drivers of the first half of the season. Let us know what you made of that ranking by emailing podcasts@the-race.com, or comment below.
