. AlexPalou on USGP2022 FP1 run at COTA: 'Insane' car 'capable of more than I thought it was' IndyCar
Driving Daniel Ricciardo’s #3 McLaren MCL36-Mercedes for the hour-long session, Palou turned in a best effort of 1min39.911sec which left him 17th fastest. Although he was two seconds slower than Lando Norris’s best effort in the other McLaren, Palou performed only long runs on Pirelli’s medium compound and never got to try out the softs.
“So… I was trying to take care of the car, obviously not trying to get in trouble with people that are going to race this weekend. So yeah, this track, I think it's pretty awesome for an F1 car, especially sector one super fast. And it was beautiful to drive.” Palou was in Super Formula in Japan in the one year that IndyCar raced at COTA, in 2019, but the series’ preseason Spring Training in 2020 was held at this venue, just before the COVID-19 pandemic not only delayed the start of the season but also caused the cancelation of IndyCar’s planned second race here.
“And then yeah, the last two corners I lacked a little bit, especially the second to last one. But the car could do a lot more than I thought and yeah, it was not confidence. It was that I couldn't believe how fast I could go with the car.”
