. AlexPalou to take a grid hit for the IndyCar finale at WeatherTechRcwy Laguna Seca due to an engine change FirestoneGP
The outgoing champion qualified fifth for tomorrow’s Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey, the highest placed of the Ganassi cars on the grid at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
However, what HPD describes as “an issue” with Palou’s engine has forced the Ganassi #10 crew into making an change. Since this will be his fifth Honda of the season, he will – according to IndyCar’s rules – incur a grid penalty. On road and street courses this is a six-place hit, while on ovals it's nine places.
Now sitting in such close proximity to Ericsson and Dixon on the grid, Palou is likely to feel obliged to help them from the start of the race. Dixon is just 21 points behind Team Penske’s championship leader Will Power, while Ericsson is 39 points back.
