Alex Palou dominates the St. Petersburg IndyCar opener, claiming a commanding victory. The reigning champion starts fourth but executes a flawless “overcut” during the first pit cycle, vaulting to the front. Once in clean air, Palou showcases unmatched pace, leading 59 laps and finishing 12.4 seconds ahead of the field, marking the largest margin in event history. This victory marks his 20th career win in just 99 starts. “This team keeps on improving,” Palou says. Despite a late switch to hard tyres, he remains unchallenged. Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske finishes second after a strong late surge, while Christian Lundgaard of Arrow McLaren secures the final podium spot. Rookie Mick Schumacher's race ends prematurely due to an opening-lap crash. Palou's performance sets a high bar for the season ahead.
