A commercial court judge in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales will decide what damages McLaren is to receive following Palou’s U-turn last summer that breached both driving and promotional contracts he’d signed to race in the IndyCar Series and act as its reserve Formula 1 driver.
Legal documents that have been filed to the court from both sides have been reviewed by Motorsport.com, and they reveal that Palou is not disputing his breach of contract but is contesting the size of the damages that McLaren is seeking as recompense.
