Palou has won four of the past five IndyCar races, only missing victory in the Indianapolis 500 itself. In all of auto racing, only Max Verstappen is having a better season.
, but his present is something spectacular. Palou has won four of the last five IndyCar races, putting him in arguably the best form in the world. His only challenger is Max Verstappen, the presumptive Formula 1 world champion that has yet to face a serious competitor in a comparable car at any point this season.
His race-winning drives have been patient, then dominant. Yesterday, he took the lead from Colton Herta on an overcut during the day's first stop; he built an eight second lead over Herta on the following stint and never looked back. At Road America, he waited patiently as the day's dominant leader burned too much fuel over the course of the race and stopped too early on the final stop.
Years after that double points finale was expunged, a driver securing a championship before the finale is still a rarity in IndyCar. If he keeps up this form for another handful of races, Palou is currently on pace to wrap up the title three races and one full month early. His second title still needs to be secured, but the season he has put together would dwarf his 2021 achievement as a second-year driver.
