Alex Palu The championship points are made a habit for the race without thinking about the championship points – until it ends the season and the title is actually on the line, as last year in 2021 and Long Beach in Nashville.
“I think it has no meaning in all other races. If we change how we say strategies or how I drive, because we are thinking just because we are thinking, then I think we will start slipping backwards,” the driver said the driver said.

After another major win at Laguna Seka on Sunday, Palu increased 121 points on moving towards the Pato O’award at Portland International Reswe on 10 August. He can secure his fourth Indycar title in five years. Arrow mcolin Driver.
Asked after his eighth win of the season in Montere, he was asked how he is planning to go in the next round, Palu made it clear that he would stick to his mantra of going to victory – despite not being worried about O’Ward – despite worrying about O’Ward – despite Mexican is the only other driver of Mexican who is still in a mathematical dispute for the title.
“Honestly, I think the best way to win the championship is by winning the race in Portland,” Palu said at a post-race press conference.
“If we start looking at others, we can put ourselves in trouble. Instead of playing it safely, we are probably vice versa and will give them more chance to come to us. So I think what we need to do is on our best performance.”
“Obviously, we haven’t talked to the team yet – we need to see where we start, and there is a big difference. But I believe the best and safest option is to try to win the race and championship.”

Palu already knows what it seems to be sealing a championship in Portland, did it two years ago when the Oregon track hosted the season’s paintimet race. Spaniard led 69 out of 110 lapses to win and take the title.
Revealing how he was celebrated back – and how he can re -wraps it this year – Palu said: “My actually some friends come from Spain. I am not a big festive man. I like to enjoy it with the team, have fun, and do a great dinner. We have a great dinner together.
“I am sure it will be the same this time. But to get there, we need to win it first. Honestly, I hope we are in that scenario and find out how to celebrate it in Portland.”

This time with two races remaining after Portland, Palu can improve the feat – but he refuses to look at the title as has already been fixed.
“It did not end until it ended. I think I proved that in mid-ohio (where a rare mistake won it earlier this month), and we saw that even in the past,” he said.
“Honestly, I will not trade my points for anyone. I will not trade my position. I will not ask for anything else – or anything less. But yes, it is not done until it is completed. We still need to win it. We still need to keep our head down and win more race.”
