McLaren wins $12m-plus damages in Palou contract case

London’s High Court ruled in McLaren’s favour in the breach-of-contract case against Alex Palou, awarding more than $12 million (about $10.2m plus another $2m–$2.5m) after Palou refused to join Arrow McLaren for IndyCar and potential Formula 1 duties. The judgment also found partial success on some related claims (sponsorship and performance-related aspects), while Palou’s team argued damages were inflated. Palou indicated he is considering his options and will continue with Chip Ganassi Racing; further interest and legal costs will be decided at a later hearing.
