However, the Spanish star was once tipped for a Formula 1 move, after he took part in a practice session with McLaren at the United States Grand Prix in 2022.

His relationship with the Woking-based outfit has since ended as he decided to remain with the Chip Ganassi Racing team, instead of pursuing an F1 drive with McLaren.

Will Alex Palou ever race in F1?

Palou has also been attached to a drive with Audi, however in a recent interview with Marca the rumours that he could race in F1 have been put to bed.

“It depends on how you look at it. Some people think that, for example, Albon has had a better racing career than me,” Palou said.

“But I prefer two IndyCar titles to no Formula 1 wins.

"Obviously we would all have liked to have been in Formula 1 and seen what we could have done, although we all know that I wouldn't have won two championships.
