Alex Palou has clarified his stance oဣn moving to F1 after winning the Indy 500.

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

He had previously flirted with a move into Formula 1 with McLar🅘en inඣ 2022, until that relationship soured.

Now Palou insists that F1 is 💙no longer an ambition.

“I don’t want✅ to leav🔯e now,” he told the Indy Star.

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

“And it wasn’t in my mind last year, and it’♋s not in m🅺y 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 amazing. I’m a big fan, but I don’t think they’re having as much fꩲun as I’m having here.

“I𒊎🔥 don’t see people celebrating with their wives and their kids as much as we do.

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

“I🍎 only enjoy driving and having fun and being with my peoplඣe, so I think [F1] is the total opposite.”

Palou admits he is not as famous or rich as Spanish compatriots C💙arlos Sainz or Fernando Alonso, but he doesn’t care.

He isn’t looking at 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 N𝓰o. 10 car ri🌳ght now.

“It’s pretty tough to beat.

“A⛎nd even still, you 🌟only have four races, and you’re out, like we’ve seen twice this year?”
