A two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion in 2021 and 2023, Alex Palou has competed and won races in Euroformula Open, Spanish Formula 3, GP3, Japanese Formula 3 and Super Formula. After a race win, the Barcelona native celebrates by eating fried chicken, a tradition that dates to his karting days. He remembers seeing a go-kart track while walking to school with his father in Spain as the first time he became interested in racing. Away from the track, Palou enjoys sports, outdoor activities and music.
