伦敦（美联社）——四届印地赛车冠军亚历克斯·帕卢（Alex Palou）周一抵达伦敦商事法庭，就迈凯伦车队与这位西班牙车手的违约纠纷展开民事诉讼。
帕卢（Palou）于2022年与迈凯伦（McLaren）印地赛车车队签署了参赛协议，但此举导致其与奇普·加纳西车队（Chip Ganassi Racing）产生合约纠纷，因后者持有帕卢2023赛季的优先续约权。
该争议通过调解得以解决，帕洛（Palou）的合同经修订后将于2024年加盟迈凯伦车队，同时甘纳西（Ganassi）同意其在该赛季兼任一级方程式（Formula 1）预备车手。帕洛最终仍选择在2024年继续效力于甘纳西车队。
尽管迈凯伦和帕卢在赛场上都取得了巨大成功，但双方的争议仍在持续发酵。迈凯伦已成为F1的顶级车队，其车手兰多·诺里斯与奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里正在角逐今年的总冠军；而帕卢则在上个月斩获了他最新的印地赛车冠军头衔。

LONDON (AP) Four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou arrived at the Commercial Court in London on Monday for the start of a civil trial in McLarens breach-of-contract dispute with the Spanish driver.
Palou in 2022 signed a contract to drive for McLarens IndyCar team , but that put Palou in breach with Chip Ganassi Racing , which held an option on the driver for the 2023 season.
That dispute was settled through mediation and Palous deal was amended to join McLaren in 2024, and Ganassi allowed him to be the Formula 1 reserve driver that year. Palou then stayed with Ganassi for 2024.
The dispute has rumbled on even as both McLaren and Palou have had plenty of on-track success. McLaren has become F1s top team with its drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri battling one another for this years title, while Palou won his latest IndyCar title last month.
