Alex Parow’s statement after losing court case and having to pay billionaire compensation to McLaren

This Friday, the court case between Alex Palou and McLaren was resolved in favor of the British team, given that the Spanish driver broke their agreement to unilaterally partner in IndyCar in 2022. Woking must be compensated $12 million, That is more than 10 million euros.

Although this is much lower than the $20 million that McLaren had requested at the start of the trial, Palou was still not satisfied with the verdict reached by the court, and this was reflected in a statement released hours after the verdict was announced.

“The court has completely dismissed the McLaren F1 claim against me, which amounted to approximately $15 million. I would like to thank Otmar Szafnauer for his expert assistance.”

”The court’s judgment shows that the allegations against me were completely exaggerated. “It’s unfortunate that so much time and money has been spent fighting these claims, some of which the courts have found to be worthless, just because I decided not to drive for McLaren knowing McLaren would not give me a place in F1.”

”I am disappointed that McLaren was awarded damages.. “They haven’t lost anything because of what the pilots have gained on my behalf.”

“I am considering my options with my advisor and I have no further comment at this time. “I look forward to next season with Chip Ganassi Racing.”

So looking at the statement released by Parow, this case may not be over yet. If this decision is appealed, the process could take several more weeks. We’ll have to keep an eye on the news regarding this controversy that has long persecuted the brand new four-time IndyCar champion.
