This week's episode: A recap of a chaotic Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix won by Alex Palou. Plus, a preview of the Bommarito 500 at Gateway and major changes to INDYCAR officiating. 

Alex Palou volvió a ganar en la IndyCar, pero esta vez no fue una victoria de trámite ni una de esas carreras que se explican únicamente por su superioridad habitual. Después de lo ocurrido con una mala estrategia en Indianápolis, esto nos demuestra que no ha perdido su “toque”. Y quedará analizado perfectamente en el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Una carrera difícil y exigente. El piloto catalán se impuso en el Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix después de una prueba exigente, marcada por las estrategias de neumáticos, las banderas amarillas y la presión final de Kyle Kirkwood. Fue su cuarta victoria en ocho carreras esta temporada y una nueva confirmación de que su dominio no depende solo de la velocidad, sino también de la gestión. Palou partía desde la pole con el Honda número 10 de Chip Ganassi Racing y acabó cruzando la meta con 3,0584 segundos de ventaja sobre Kirkwood, de Andretti Global. Graham Rahal completó el podio, mientras que Pato O’Ward y Christian Lundgaard terminaron cuarto y quinto para Arrow McLaren. El resultado amplía la ventaja de Palou en el campeonato hasta los 62 puntos, más de una carrera de margen sobre su principal perseguidor. Las cifras empiezan a ser difíciles de colocar en perspectiva. Palou suma ya 23 victorias en 106 salidas en la categoría, con una tasa de acierto superior al 21%. Desde el inicio de la temporada 2025 ha ganado 12 de las últimas 25 carreras. Y, sin embargo, Detroit recordó que incluso en pleno dominio hay carreras que se ganan desde la resistencia, no desde la comodidad. El trazado urbano de Detroit, estrecho y propenso al caos, obligó a todos los equipos a navegar entre estrategias distintas y continuas interrupciones. Palou lideró 71 de las 100 vueltas, pero perdió posiciones en la primera parte de la prueba y tuvo que reconstruir la carrera desde la estrategia. La decisión clave llegó en la vuelta 63, cuando su equipo apostó por adelantar la última parada para montar neumáticos prime, más duraderos que los alternativos. La lectura de carrera de Chip Ganassi fue decisiva. Barry Wanser, estratega de Palou, evitó que el español quedara atrapado en pista ante una posible bandera amarilla. Apenas unas vueltas después, el incidente entre Santino Ferrucci y Rinus VeeKay confirmó que la llamada había sido correcta. Kirkwood, que todavía debía parar, tuvo que hacerlo bajo neutralización y quedó obligado a utilizar neumáticos alternativos en el último tramo. Ese detalle abrió el gran duelo final. Kirkwood salió con más agarre inicial y se lanzó a por Palou en las reanudaciones. El piloto de Andretti llegó a acercarse lo suficiente como para amenazar el liderato, pero las sucesivas banderas amarillas cortaron su impulso y le obligaron a gastar el mejor momento de sus neumáticos sin poder culminar el ataque. Cuando la carrera volvió a estabilizarse, la mayor consistencia de los primarios de Palou empezó a imponerse. El catalán tuvo que gestionar varias reanudaciones delicadas, especialmente en las vueltas 72, 76, 83 y 93. También sobrevivió a un momento complicado en la vuelta 88, cuando bloqueó las ruedas bajo la presión de Kirkwood. Pero, como tantas otras veces, recompuso la situación sin perder el control de la carrera. En la última relanzada volvió a abrir hueco y ya no concedió otra oportunidad. Lectura interesante sobre el propio circuito. Detroit ofreció 173 adelantamientos en pista, una cifra récord para un urbano esta temporada, pero también una sucesión constante de incidentes, neutralizaciones y situaciones límite. Frente al recuerdo de Belle Isle, el trazado actual mantiene una identidad más agresiva y menos fluida, con un espectáculo que a veces nace tanto de la estrategia como del desorden. Para Palou, sin embargo, el contexto cambia poco. Gane desde la pole, desde la gestión o desde la supervivencia, el resultado tiende a repetirse. Su temporada avanza con una regularidad impropia de una categoría tan imprevisible como la IndyCar. Y lo más llamativo es que sus victorias no parecen responder siempre al mismo patrón: unas llegan por ritmo, otras por estrategia, otras por lectura de carrera y otras, como Detroit, por una mezcla de paciencia, precisión y sangre fría. Con esta victoria, Palou sale más líder y refuerza su candidatura a igualar el récord de cuatro títulos consecutivos en la IndyCar. Lo hace, además, en un momento en el que su atención empieza a repartirse entre varios objetivos de enorme exigencia. Pero si algo dejó claro Detroit es que incluso cuando la carrera se complica, Palou encuentra la manera de convertir el caos en ventaja… la forma más contundente de dominio en un campeonato tan abierto como la IndyCar.

AND A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE MICHELIN TYRE!!  Palou Prevails Amid Chaos, Varying Tire Strategies in Detroit. DETROIT (Sunday, May 31, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou prevailed in a full-contact race filled with various tire strategies, winning the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Sunday for his fourth victory in eight races this season. Pole sitter Palou drove his No. 10 HRC Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 3.0584-second victory over the No. 27 Sam's Club Honda of Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood. It was the 23rd victory of Palou's career in 106 starts, a remarkable strike rate of 21.7 percent, and he has won 12 of the last 25 races (48 percent win rate) dating to the start of the 2025 season. SEE: Race Results “It feels like the first time, honestly” Palou said. “It was a tough one, a very tough one. But the team did an incredible job once again with the strategy. The pit stops were incredible. Incredible run, incredible start of the year, but it was tough.” The victory extended Palou's championship lead to 62 points over Kirkwood, more than a race's worth of margin. The Spaniard is aiming for an INDYCAR SERIES record-tying fourth straight title. Graham Rahal finished third in the No. 15 Fifth Third Bank Honda of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, his third podium finish of the season. Arrow McLaren teammates Pato O'Ward and Christian Lundgaard finished fourth and fifth in the No. 5 and No. 7 Chevrolet-powered cars, respectively, at General Motors' home event. Palou led 71 of the 100 laps, but this wasn't a stroll down Easy Street. He took the lead for good on Lap 69 when Kirkwood pitted from the lead for the last time and stayed out front on restarts on Laps 72, 76, 83 and 93 after full-course yellows bunched the field. The move to the front was paved a few laps earlier when strategist Barry Wanser and Palou decided to make their final pit stop at the end of Lap 63, switching from the faster but less durable Firestone Firehawk alternate tire to the primary tire. Wanser saw a variety of jousts for position unfolding on the tight, nine-turn, 1.645-mile street circuit and wisely didn't want Palou to get caught on track under caution and lose track position. Wanser's decision proved prescient on Lap 66 when Santino Ferrucci's No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet of AJ Foyt Racing nudged the rear of Rinus VeeKay's No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet into a spin in Turn 5. Kirkwood was leading but still had to make his final stop, which he did under yellow on Lap 69 and was forced to use a set of Firestone Firehawk alternates per INDYCAR rules that require at least two sets of the softer rubber to be used in street-circuit events. Palou rocketed away from Alexander Rossi's No. 20 Java House Chevrolet of ECR on the restart on Lap 72. Rookie Mick Schumacher and David Malukas were engaged in an intense duel for third on the restart, with Schumacher missing the corner in Turn 5 and nosing into the barriers in his No. 47 ENVE Honda of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. Malukas had nowhere to go and ran wide in his No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, with the incident triggering another full-course caution on Lap 73. By this point, Kirkwood had worked his way back to third after his final pit stop and had to make the most of the added early grip of the alternate tire before the increased durability of Palou's primary tires prevailed in the closing laps. Kirkwood passed Rossi and then set sail for Palou, knowing this was his best chance to win. Kirkwood pulled to within two car lengths of Palou on Lap 79 and appeared to be ready to pounce for the lead when Ferrucci's car slowed in Turn 4 with a mechanical problem, triggering the fifth full-course yellow of the race on Lap 80. “We took a little bit of a gamble on tires there, being the only guy on reds (alternates) at the end,” Kirkwood said. “It nearly paid off. It was so, so close. There were two untimely yellows. “We almost covered Palou when we were on primes, which would have been phenomenal, and then we had that other yellow where I had him lined up. I was ready to make a dive on him, and, of course, (the yellow) comes out after I burned 10 seconds of overtake. From there, we just didn't really have another shot at it. I think I just used up my tires too much to make that one pass.” Palou kept the lead on the restart on Lap 83, but Kirkwood continued to push and forced Palou into a flat-spotting tire lockup on Lap 88. But Palou gathered himself and his car and started to pull away, building a lead of 1.8929 seconds by Lap 91. But there was one more restart for Palou to manage after Rossi clipped the rear of the No. 18 BMax Honda driven by Romain Grosjean of Dale Coyne Racing and sent Grosjean into the outside wall approaching Turn 3 on Lap 91. That triggered the last of six full-course yellows, but Palou pulled away from Kirkwood and the field on the Lap 93 restart and was never threatened despite the 173 on-track passes today, a high for a street circuit this season.  “Being able to be up front was key,” Palou said. “On the first stint, I started struggling and kind of put myself in a bad spot and lost two positions with Lundgaard and (Scott) McLaughlin. I lost us positions there, but the team made a great call to be safe with the yellow. It kind of worked out for us.” Fittipaldi Wins Motor City Thriller, Takes Series Lead. DETROIT (Sunday, May 31, 2026) – Enzo Fittipaldi returned his famous last name to Victory Lane in Detroit for the first time in 35 years, winning the INDY NXT by Firestone Detroit Grand Prix despite driving nearly the entire distance with a damaged front wing and nose cone. Series rookie Fittipaldi won the race, originally scheduled for 45 laps but switched to a timed event, under caution in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports car after starting seventh. It was his second victory of the season and vaulted him to the championship lead in the INDYCAR development series, seven points ahead of Nikita Johnson of Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR and eight ahead of HMD teammate Tymek Kucharczyk. SEE: Race Results The victory also was the first by the legendary Fittipaldi name in Detroit since his grandfather and two-time Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi won INDYCAR SERIES races on a different downtown street circuit in the Motor City in 1989 and 1991. “I just pushed as hard as I could,” Enzo Fittipaldi said. “I found pace. I was really, really fast. Just so happy to get the win. I love to race; I'm a racer.” Series veteran Myles Rowe finished a season-best second in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports with Force Indy machine, with rookie Kucharczyk rounding out the podium finishers in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry. Rookie Max Garcia tied his season-best finish by placing fourth in the No. 12 Abel Motorsports machine, with veteran Seb Murray rounding out the top five in the No. 27 Megatron car of Andretti Global. Frenzied action started from the drop of the green flag on Lap 1, as Lochie Hughes made an aggressive move into the Turn 3 hairpin with his No. 26 Andretti Global car, punting pole sitter Alessandro de Tullio into a spin from the lead in the No. 14 AJ Foyt Racing entry. Hughes received a drive-through penalty for avoidable contact. Fittipaldi nudged another car in that chain-reaction melee, which damaged the right side of his front wing and punched a large hole in his nose cone. Kucharczyk took the lead from that point, keeping it on the restart on Lap 8. Kucharczyk built a lead of 3.324 seconds over Fittipaldi by Lap 13, with Rowe climbing to third by Lap 18. Rowe dove under Fittipaldi for second on Lap 20 and started to chase down Kucharczyk. By Lap 21, Rowe pulled to within .5477 of a second of leader Kucharcyzk, slicing 1.6 seconds from the Polish driver's lead in just three laps. But the complexion of the race changed on Lap 26 when the second of four full-course yellow flags in the race were unfurled for debris on the nine-turn, 1.645-mile temporary street circuit. The restart came at the end of Lap 27, with Rowe trying to dive under Kucharczyk for the lead immediately after the green flag, in the Turn 3 hairpin. But the move forced both cars wide, leaving an opening along the inside curb for Fittipaldi. He took it, squeezing past Rowe and Kucharcyzk and never trailing thereafter. Fittipaldi stayed out front on another restart on Lap 34 after Niels Koolen nosed his No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing machine into the barrier in Turn 8. “I got it done,” Fittipaldi said. “I knew Myles was going to go for a lunge there, and I just prepared my mid-(corner) to exit of Turn 3, and he went on the lunge on Tymek, and I was able to do the crossover and got the lead. I had the pace to stay there, and I was actually pulling away.” The decisive move was one of 141 on-track passes, including 124 for position, in the exciting race – both INDY NXT records for any circuit on which the series has competed in the Motor City. Fittipaldi expanded that gap to nearly six-tenths of a second when Andretti Global's Max Taylor also nosed into the barrier in Turn 1 in his No. 28 Susan G. Komen car with about four minutes, 20 seconds left in what had become a timed race, triggering the final caution. Taylor's car could not be cleared in time to restart the race, with the field finishing under yellow. “I was losing quite a lot of time through (Turns) 6 and 7,” Fittipaldi said of the damage to his car. “It was quite difficult. Down the straight, I could feel the air coming through my legs and I said: ‘Man, this is not good. We're definitely dragging a lot on the straight.' It was hard to keep that lead and keep up with the guys.”

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… GEORGE'S MERC GOES KABLAMO WHILE IN THE LEAD GIFTING ANTONELLI THE WIN! MCLAREN MAKES ONE. BLUNDER AFTER ANOTHER… GOOD FIGHT BETWEEN MAX AND LCH FOR P2 AND… FELIX ROSENQVIST WINS THE INDY 500 BY A NOSE!!! SUPER SAD NEWS…KYLE BUSCH GONE AT 41… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: A MOMENT IN MOTORSPORTS HISTORY WITH FRANCOIS CASTAIN!… Rosenqvist Earns Epic Victory in Closest-Ever Indianapolis 500 Finish INDIANAPOLIS (Sunday, May 24, 2026) – Felix Rosenqvist capped his magical May by edging David Malukas in a last-lap drag race to the Yard of Bricks with the highest stakes, winning the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the closest finish in the century-plus history of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Rosenqvist rode the high line against the concrete wall exiting Turn 4 on Lap 200 in the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian and powered past the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet of David Malukas to prevail by .0233 of a second. The previous closest finish in “500” history came in 1992, when Al Unser Jr. held off a charging Scott Goodyear by .043 of a second. SEE: Race Results “Unreal; I still don't believe it,” Rosenqvist said. “It kind of worked out the right way when I got back to third, and then I just had to flat-out lap on the high line, and it stuck,” Rosenqvist said. “It was just the coolest way you can finish and win an Indy 500.” The breathtaking race featured an event-record 70 lead changes over its 200 scintillating laps, breaking the previous mark of 68 set in 2013. With his second career NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory, Rosenqvist became the third Swedish driver to win “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” joining Kenny Brack (1999) and Marcus Ericsson (2022). Meyer Shank Racing also earned its second NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory – both coming in the most prestigious race in the world. Helio Castroneves captured his record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory in 2021 for the Ohio-based team. The victory capped a remarkable month for Rosenqvist. He and his wife, Emille, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Stella, on May 4. “I really miss my wife and my newborn child, Stella,” Rosenqvist said. “I wish they were here with me. This whole month, becoming a dad and winning the ‘500' … We joked about it in the beginning: ‘Maybe you'll win the ‘500' and have a baby.' It's just unreal.” Scott McLaughlin finished third in the No. 3 Pennzoil Team Penske Chevrolet, as the fabled team placed two drivers in the top three but fell just short of a record-extending 21st Indy 500 victory. Pato O'Ward placed fourth in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, his fifth career top-four finish in seven “500” starts without a victory. Marcus Armstrong rounded out the top five in the No. 66 Acura Honda of Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian despite taking the green flag in the lead on a one-lap shootout for the victory after a late caution. An incredible .4360 of a second separated the top-five finishers. Rosenqvist's average speed was 162.021 mph. The one-lap dash to the checkered flag and immortality was set up when rookie Mick Schumacher brushed the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2 in his No. 47 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Honda on Lap 197. Racing resumed at the end of Lap 199, with Armstrong leading to the flag stand with the white flag in the air and one lap remaining, with Malukas in second and Rosenqvist third. Malukas powered to the lead entering Turn 1 and started to pull away on the backstretch of the 2.5-mile oval with teammates Armstrong and Rosenqvist running side by side in a joust for second. Rosenqvist, running the high line around the oval, nosed ahead of Armstrong in Turn 4 and set his sights on Malukas. With the checkered flag in the air ahead, Malukas drove his car toward the pit wall to try and break Rosenqvist's aerodynamic tow. Malukas then moved toward the center of the track, and Rosenqvist quickly swung his machine back toward the top of the racetrack, just barely avoiding contact. The two cars were side by side yards from the finish line when Rosenqvist nosed ahead and crossed the Yard of Bricks first by about a half-car length, the capacity crowd of 350,000 pulsating in delight. It was the most important of the 629 on-track passes in the race, including 567 for position. “I don't know what else we could have done,” Malukas said as he choked back tears in his pit box. “We were the fastest car that whole race. I gave it 150 percent. I mean, I almost crashed this damn car every lap, and we still ended up with a P2. “I just can't believe it. I don't know what else I can give. So close. This place, we're going to come back and bring it everything. We're going to give it 160 percent the next time.” Said Rosenqvist: “Good job to Marcus and David at the end. They raced really cleanly. It's because of drivers like that you get really good racing. Unbelievable.” McLaughlin, O'Ward and Armstrong then crossed the Yard of Bricks three-wide in the sprint for third, capping a race for the ages. The spellbinding finish was the final act of a dual-strategy drama that unfolded over the closing laps. O'Ward, Armstrong and Rosenqvist made their final pit stops on Laps 164, 165 and 166, respectively, right at the edge of the fuel window to finish the race without another stop under green-flag racing. Meanwhile, Malukas, McLaughlin and pole sitter Alex Palou in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda were among a group of cars that were on a different sequence and had to make their final stops on Laps 175 (Malukas) and 176 (Palou and McLaughlin). Malukas took control of that chasing group, but they were more than 20 seconds behind O'Ward, Rosenqvist and Armstrong with less than 25 laps to go. Rosenqvist, with two more laps of fuel than O'Ward, was content to ride in the draft of the Mexican and save even more fuel as both lapped nearly 10 mph slower than the chasing pack to ensure they could make it to the finish. Rosenqvist finally pounced past O'Ward for the lead on Lap 185 and was headed toward Easy Street. The chasing trio of Malukas, McLaughlin and Palou appeared to be running out of laps to catch O'Ward, Rosenqvist and Armstrong, but the field was bunched on Lap 192 when rookie Caio Collet slammed the SAFER Barrier in Turn 2 in the No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet of A.J. Foyt Enterprises, triggering the sixth of seven caution periods in the race. Race officials immediately red-flagged the event for accident cleanup, with all cars pulling into the pits. “It was the perfect situation for us before that,” Rosenqvist said. “We kind of had everything lined up. Pato was struggling with fuel, and we were pretty rich (on fuel) to the end. I was like: ‘This is going to be great. At some point you're just going to pass him and hopefully cruise to the win.' But then in the end, everything flipped upside-down. “But you just have to reload. I was a little negative at first. I was like, ‘Of course, this happened.' But then you just had to think forward. It actually was good when I got back to third because it felt like I was hunting instead of being hunted.” Rosenqvist led the field to green flag on the Lap 196 restart after the 10-minute red flag period, with O'Ward second and Armstrong third. But Armstrong powered to the front in the four-wide restart with a bold outside move in Turn 1, with Malukas riding his aerodynamic coattails to second. But then Schumacher made contact with the SAFER Barrier to bring out the final caution on Lap 197, setting up the one-lap dash for glory. NTT P1 Award winner Palou led a race-high 59 laps but finished seventh. Adding his 12 bonus points for earning the Indy 500 pole, Palou leads the series standings by 42 points over Malukas entering the next event, the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on Sunday, May 31 on the streets of Detroit. Kimi Antonelli First of all, massive commiserations to George. I feel very sorry for him as he was leading the race and was super strong. We were having a great battle in that first stint and very close on pace. I am sure it would have gone right until the end of the Grand Prix, and I am disappointed we didn't get the chance to continue that. It was not an easy race for us. The wind was very tricky and with the low temperatures, it was hard to get the tyres working. We had several lock-ups, particularly in the early stages, but fortunately were able to keep it on the track and get to the chequered flag first. It is of course not how we want to win but we will take it. We now get ready for the European portion of the season and six races in eight weekends leading up to shutdown. It will be an intense period, but we are looking forward to it. George Russell I am proud of my weekend, no matter that it ended in a retirement today. I took pole for the Sprint, won that race, took pole for the Grand Prix and was leading before we had the Power Unit issue that finished our race. I know there is nothing more I could have done this weekend to perform and that fills me with confidence moving forward into the rest of the season. It is of course a painful way to finish our Canadian Grand Prix weekend, but I will leave here satisfied that I did my best. Up until lap 30, I was thoroughly enjoying the race. I loved the battle with Kimi, and I am sure he did too. It was like going back to karting days where you are racing wheel-to-wheel, swapping the lead multiple times. I hope everyone enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed being in it. I just wish we could have continued it until the end of the Grand Prix. MAX... We made the right calls and didn't leave anything on the table! Finish Position: 3, Start Position: 6 "It's great to be back on the podium. It was a little bit of a surprise, but we made the right calls and didn't leave anything on the table. We had a very good first stint on the Soft tyre, and that gave us the gap we needed. The Medium tyre was more difficult because managing the temperatures, combined with going in and out of Virtual Safety Cars, made things more challenging. I enjoyed the last few laps battling with Lewis, and I pushed hard to take the position back. Over the last two weekends, we've been a lot closer, and there have been positive steps forward. It's also our first podium with our own powertrain, which is a great milestone for the Team, so credit to everyone for getting us here.”
