Alex Palou opens up about his emotions after heartbreak in Mid-Ohio
Alex Palou, the #10 Chip Ganassi Racing driver, previously spoke about his race at Mid-Ohio. He also highlighted losing out on victory after an unfortunate mistake.
The 28-year-old finished the Mid-Ohio race in second place after he missed the entry to Turn 9, which sent him wide of the exit. This allowed his teammate Scott Dixon to overtake him and eventually take the victory.
While talking to the media post-race, Alex Palou was asked to detail his thoughts on the loss. He said, (via ASAP Sports)
"Yeah, for sure. I agree with that. I think when you lose -- I think we lost today. It's not like we got beaten, but we lost it, myself. Yeah, that's going to hurt a little bit. I'm hopefully going to learn from that. It's still good in a way that we got one-two; we lost it but we kept it in the team. I think that's going to keep the team happier and Chip happier."
"But yeah, for sure it hurts, man. It hurts doing a big mistake like that when you could have just -- it's easy now to just say, save a little bit there, you don't need to be on the limit. But when you're driving, you don't feel like you're that in the limit. Yeah, it'll take a couple of hours, but then at the end of the day we still finished second, still had an amazing weekend, and we should be proud about that," he added.
Notably, Alex Palou is chasing his fourth IndyCar Series championship.
