Now, I'll grant him that if Palou had come to McLaren, that none of it would have happened, but everything that happened after Palou went back to Ganassi is fully on them. I'd be more forgiving if it was one blip, but it's not.
Yes Zak. Tell us more how one driver not honoring his contract led to you sign three drivers to multi-year deals to drive the same car over nine months.
โWeโve had 1 driver not honor his contract thatโs created this chain reaction thatโs made us the villain of IndyCar with drivers, which I think isnโt fair & representative.โ

@joshcrider@A_S12 You have to have owners who want to. Plenty of new teams have come in and been fast out of the gate. Last place isn't spending the same kind of money as the top tier teams, otherwise they wouldn't be last.
Fundamentally, the biggest problem for 23XI and FRM now is that NASCAR has a majority of the teams signed and they also have the A teams signed. They can now sit back and say, "You want to play on our playground? This is how it's going to be."
@LFNJSinner@By_NathanBrown All you have to do is convince IndyCar that it's a plot by Cuban revolutionaries to embarrass Mark Miles and they might decide to race anyway.
My guess is they feel they have a good legal standing that any revoking of their charters wouldnโt stand up in court or at the least wouldnโt be worth it to nascar to try to prevail in open court.
โNASCAR has consistently refused to deal with 2311 โ these negotiations, we are David facing Goliath. NASCAR has superior bargaining power and undue influence over the sport and the charter processโ
I love some of the curious conspiracies that NASCAR fans want to believe. Like, yes, Toyota and NASCAR are definitely conspiring to help Hamlin because Hamlin *checks notes* has dragged NASCAR through the mud on these charter negotiations? Wait. Are these notes right?
