IndyCar star Alex Palou has r�🦄�uled himself out of the fight for a Cadillac Formula 1 seat in 2026, saying he is “not looking for a change” in his career.

Despite driving for the Honda-powered Chip Ganassi team in IndyCar, the 28-year-old has been linked to rival General Motors' upcoming project in F1.

G💝iven Palou’s popularity and success in the US, where he is now based, he is seen as an💜 ideal fit for the American F1 team.

Palou raced on the junior la🐓dder to F1 in his early years, climb✱ing as high as European F3 in 2018 before moving to Super Formula and eventually IndyCar in the following years.

However, the Spaniard said he is no longer chasing that F1 dream, insisting he is happy with his life i𓄧n America’s biggest single-seater series.

“We built a house!” Palou told . “[It] took us like 14 months. Everybody knows that I tried with everything to do F1; I was ♑all-in. It was n🐠ot even just, ‘I'll try a little bit.’ It was all-in. It didn't work.

“I would put it as I'm not looking to go there. I had my half a chance, or maybe more like a 10-percent chance, and it didn't work out. That's fine, and I'm glad that I have [an] amazing opportunity here, and it's going well. I’ve had no contacts (in F1). I'm not lo♚oking for a change.”

Palou made that comm🐲ent a week before the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500, one of the three biggest races in motorsport𝓀.

Although the 28-year-old has racked up three IndyCar titles in the last four years, an Indy 500ꦚ win continues to elude him after five attempts.
