Álex Palou

Álex Palou Montalbo (born 1 April 1997) is a Spanish racing driver, who races for TCS Nakajima Racing in the 2019 Super Formula Championship. A midfield runner throughout his junior career, Palou moved his focus to Japanese racing in 2019, having previously finished third in the All-Japan Formula 3 Championship in 2017.

Background
Palou's career began in karting in 2003, with the Spaniard securing his biggest victory by claiming the WSK Euro Series title in 2012. Palou subsequently made his race car debut in the Euroformula Open Championship in 2014, claiming three race wins en-route to third in the series. That result prompted employers Campos Racing to promote Palou to their GP3 Series squad for 2015, having also finished as runner-up in the Spanish Formula 3 Championship.

Junior Jaunts
Palou's maiden GP3 Series campaign saw him improve throughout the campaign, securing a maiden win at the final round of the season. 2016 was not a strong sophomore season for Palou, however, with the Spaniard only scoring 22 points across the campaign. He duly switched to the All-Japan Formula 3 Championship in 2017, finishing third in that series.

The Spaniard would also race in the FIA Formula 2 Championship in 2017, albeit in only a handful of races. Palou duly returned to European racing and the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2018, finishing seventh with seven podium finishes.

Super Formula History
Palou subsequently made the switch to Japanese racing in 2019, securing a deal with Honda and TCS Nakajima Racing to race in Super Formula in 2019. Palou duly went on to claim a front row start on his debut in Suzuka, before setting fastest lap during the race.
