I have a theory on Palou . Within the last two weeks Michael Andretti was quoted as saying Palou and Colton Herta are ready for F1 . And he stated he would have no problem putting both behind the wheel .

I think Andretti has a verbal agreement with Palou if Andretti is granted a team . If he doesn't get a team or if things change Palou stays with CGR . It's just a hunch on my part .

Andretti has stated if they are granted a team they want to compete in 2025 . Palou can race Indycar in 2024 and then jump to F1 . Again just a theory but some pieces make sense . Only time will tell .

Another angle : CGR runs with Cadillac in IMSA . Andretti and Cadillac are partnered if they get an F1 team . Palou is under contract with CGR . Does Chip Gannasi want to dip a toe in the F1 pond as a minority owner ?
