If you are at the back of the grid, it seems that you are not adapting to the category."You're struggling with certain things and you make more mistakes because you try to overcome those and overdrive sometimes; and if you're in a fast car, everything is a little bit easier. He’s Formula 1-level and if he has the chance, I will be very happy for him.”It's not the first time Alex Palou has been linked to a move to F1, as he had tested with McLaren in the 2021 season and was due to join them as a reserve driver in 2023.Max Verstappen comments on Alex Palou rumors to Red BullDuring the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix weekend, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen was also asked about the possibility of having Alex Palou as a teammate next year, to which the four-time F1 world champion replied:"I know Alex already from go-karting times, and I think what he is achieving in IndyCar is incredible. It's so impressive to see, but it's impossible to know how people will do in F1, and it’s the same question the other way round – how would you do in IndyCar?""You have no idea. So, for me, it’s a bit of a waste of time to try to debate that. I’m just so happy to see doing so well in IndyCar and the way he's been dominating.”The Milton Keynes-based outfit have a lot of options to choose from when deciding on putting a second driver next to Verstappen in the 2026 season.
