IndyCar champ Palou says he’s leaving Ganassi for McLaren

Shortly after Chip Ganassi Racing announced Tuesday it would exercise a team option to keep the star Spaniard next season, Palou and Arrow McLaren SP said they had agreed to a deal for 2023. “I have recently learned from the media that this afternoon, without my approval, Chip Ganassi Racing issued a press release announcing that I would be driving with CGR in 2023,” Palou wrote on Twitter. Colton Herta, the young American star who team owner Michael Andretti hopes to put in a Formula One car, spent Monday and Tuesday testing for McLaren in Portimao, Portugal.
