Lundqvist is currently stuck as Honda won't provide an extra engine lease for a 2nd DCR\HMD car. https://racer.com/2022/08/31/indy-light ... next-move/ |

The last Silly Season update before the offseason. https://racer.com/2022/09/09/pruett-ind ... a-edition/ tl;dr -Herta is expected to stay at Andretti. (events since have now firmed this up) -Floyd has been linked with Malukas, but he is locked into a 2-year contract and Coyne will not let him go early. Less certain is the future of the other Coyne driver - Sato might stay for another year, he might scale back to the 500 only, or he may retire. -One proposal for Sato's future that has since fallen by the wayside came from Andretti - a one-season swap with DeFrancesco going to Coyne. But Andretti ultimately decided to stick with their current driver. -Lundqvist has several paths - if Sato does step away, that leaves a nice hole for him to fill. Other teams may also be interested. But if no opportunity arises in Indycar, Honda are willing to place him in Super Formula for a year until more Indycar options open up. This Lights-to-SF excursion will almost certainly happen regardless, as Matt Brabham is being tee'd up as plan B if Lundqvist does find a seat on the eastern side of the Pacific. -2 teams have reached out to Ricciardo, and 1 to Vettel. No word on any reciprocation of interest on Ricciardo's part, and there was none on Vettel's. -SPAM's option on FRosen expires on the 30th September. He fully intends to stay in IndyCar and is buying a house in Indianapolis, which nixes any idea of returning to Formula E. Should the option expire, there are several teams that would be interested after a strong rebuilding season; Andretti, Juncos and RLLR are mentioned. -SPAM are unlikely to have a resolution on Palou any time soon, and face some difficult decisions; if they trigger Felix's option and Palou wins in court, they will be a driver heavy. But if they don't trigger the option and Palou loses, they will be a driver short. |

Which naturally leads to FRosen staying where he is as well. |

Somehow Palou also joins McLaren's F1 test team. |

They probably met halfway, as there was little chance he'd go F1 racing next year |

Some more meat on the bones from Pruett - https://racer.com/2022/09/14/pruett-the-fever-dream/ Of particular interest is the fact that Brown did in fact see Palou's Ganassi contract, and that there was a clause in the original Ganassi contract which would allow Palou to negotiate elsewhere if he rejected a new Ganassi contract. Ganassi were about to fall into that trap until they were tipped off at the last minute. |

Taylor Kiel leaving ARROW McLaren SP https://racer.com/2022/09/20/team-presi ... claren-sp/ - and because someone had to do it: Kyle Busch to McLaren? https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/sp ... n-2641788/ |

Kiel is going to work for his stepfather (Mike Hull, not Floyd) at Ganassi. Top of the pile to replace him at SPAM is apparently Brian Barnhart. https://www.autosport.com/indycar/news/ ... /10372668/ |

The whole series is brilliant. I think I've never seen a (half way popular) youtube series by pretty much celebrities, who just decided to not give any f*ck at all and just sticked to it. |
