Closing arguments have been presented in McLaren Racing’s lawsuit against IndyCar star Alex Palou. The trial in London’s High Court began in late September. McLaren is seeking $20.7 million in damages, claiming Palou breached his contract by backing out of a deal to join their IndyCar team. Palou argues the contracts were based on false promises of a Formula 1 seat. McLaren says Palou’s decision led to financial losses and forced them to find a replacement driver. Palou’s defense also accuses McLaren of destroying evidence by deleting WhatsApp messages related to the case.
