Palou contends he's racing for McLaren in 2023; Ganassi says that Palou is under contract with Chip Ganassi Racing next year.

Palou, driver of the No. 10 NTT Data Honda, is currently sixth in the IndyCar standings, 44 points behind CGR teammate and Indianapolis 500 winner Marcus Ericsson.CGR has already taken a slight bite out of Palou, so to speak, taking away his access to team engineering data while away from the track.
Former IndyCar star James Hinchcliffe, now an analyst on IndyCar telecasts for NBC, said on last week’s episode of the Brick-By-Brick podcast, “I have no idea how this plays out. But I can guarantee it won’t be quick, and I can guarantee it won’t be clean.”
