In other news, McLaren signed Scott Dixon to a multiyear contract in IndyCar.

Zak seems to be going 100% toward ovals and Indy 500. All three drivers will be good on ovals and have plenty of experience.
Makes sense when 75% of the calendar is road courses.
Well if you want "Triple crown" it makes sense.

All three drivers are good on road courses too, but Lundgaard was dropped because of ovals.

Dixon is a great champion, of course, but he's 46. Will be 47 next year. It seems like a weird move.
Yeah, not sure but he was super strong before Palou.
