Verstappen le dice a Palou que se quede en IndyCar

      Pocas personas tienen la oportunidad de ganar

      Max Verstappen ha instado al campeón de IndyCar Alex Palou a resistir la tentación de la Fórmula 1 y a quedarse donde está en medio de su racha dominante en Estados Unidos. Hablando en el podcast Pelas Pistas, el cuádruple campeón del mundo recordó su larga relación con Palou, el español de 28 años que, según la mayoría de los expertos, claramente es capaz de prosperar en la F1.

      "Fuimos compañeros en CRG durante nuestros días de karting y también en las carreras de simulador, en Redline", dijo Verstappen. "Incluso corrimos juntos algunas veces. Es buena gente, muy amable, y lo que ha conseguido en IndyCar es realmente impresionante, al igual que la manera en que lo está haciendo."

      Palou reafirmó recientemente su compromiso con Chip Ganassi Racing e IndyCar tras su disputa legal con McLaren por un contrato de IndyCar cancelado. Verstappen dijo que seguir en la serie estadounidense es el movimiento más inteligente a largo plazo.

      "Si yo estuviera en su lugar, no dejaría IndyCar", comentó Verstappen. "Pocas personas tienen la oportunidad de ganar; hay que vivir bien, hay que ganar dinero, y si estás en una posición dominante puedes asegurarte la supervivencia. ¿Por qué arriesgarlo todo? ¿Por unos años en la F1 y sin empezar en un equipo de primer nivel?"

      Añadió que el salto a la F1 solo tiene sentido en las circunstancias adecuadas, y que no hay nada malo en dominar en otro sitio.

      "También puedes decir: 'Voy a hacerlo así si funciona', pero si no, habrás perdido el impulso que tenías. Creo que está tomando la decisión correcta al quedarse donde puede seguir ganando."

El campeonato de 2025 aún está 'perdido' - Verstappen El campeonato de 2025 aún está 'perdido' - Verstappen Fórmula 1 | Max Verstappen realizó una de las mejores actuaciones de la temporada en Brasil, remontando desde el pit lane hasta el podio tras una clasificación desastrosa que dejó (…) The race in São Paulo was the second of the season, after the Dutch Grand Prix, in which both Ferrari drivers retired from the race. Charles Leclerc fell victim to a collision between Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli – the Italian driver's Mercedes ricocheted into Leclerc's Ferrari, breaking the Monegasque's front-left suspension. Lewis Hamilton damaged his car after contact with Franco Colapinto. For that the seven‑time world champion received a five‑second penalty, which he served during a pit stop, and one penalty point. The damage to the SF‑25 proved too severe, and the team withdrew Lewis from the race. As a result of the São Paulo Grand Prix Ferrari dropped from second to fourth in the Constructors' Championship. Lewis Hamilton (retired): "This was definitely a race I'd like to forget. After the first‑lap collision the damage to the car led to a significant loss of downforce, making it very difficult to control the behaviour of the rear wheels. Despite the team's efforts to find a way out, the lack of pace combined with the penalty forced us to retire from the race. Of course, this is not the way I wanted the week to end, but I thank the Brazilian fans for their incredible support, as always. There is one final push to make, and we'll give everything in the remaining races." Charles Leclerc (retired): "It's a shame my race ended in retirement. I suffered because of the collision between Kimi and Oscar, who hit my car. It's a pity, given that we are fighting for second place in the Constructors' Championship. Now it will be harder for us to secure second place – we need to execute the remaining three rounds of the season perfectly. But the team did a good job of turning things around after a difficult Friday." Frédéric Vasseur, team principal: "After a weekend like this you want to find something positive, even if it's not easy, because the season is ending and we have a double retirement. In the sprint we achieved a decent result – the pace was good, and then Charles did an excellent job in qualifying. Sunday was difficult. I had the feeling that with Charles we had good chances, but we had to pay for the Antonelli–Piastri collision. Charles positioned the car correctly, was running second, but retired. That's disappointing, because he could have fought for first place or at least for a podium. In that situation we not only lost points ourselves, but also handed them to our rivals. As for Lewis, his car lost a noticeable amount of downforce either because Carlos Sainz hit him, or because the front wing got stuck under the floor, or as a result of both incidents. Lewis had good pace, but he couldn't recover after the two collisions. The decision to withdraw him from the race was logical, because his car lost about 30 to 40 percent of its downforce. So he served the penalty and retired. It's hard to draw conclusions from the weekend given how it ended. We bounced back well after a difficult Friday, but the result is disappointing, as is the situation in the Constructors' Championship fight. We're returning to Maranello to prepare as best as possible for the final triple‑header of the season."
