Alex Palou scored his maiden victory in the I🥀ndianapolis 500 on Sunday to continue his stellar run in the 2025 IndyCar 🌜season.

Andretti Global's Marcus Ericsson grabbed the lead with 25 laps to go courtesy of an off-sequence strategy, which gave him more than enough fuel to go till the e🎶nd of the race.

Palou had to resort to some fuel-saving having pitted several laps earlier, but he toꦅok Ericsson by a surprise by passing him with 14 laps to run.

The Chip Ganassi driver was fortunate that two back▨markers were running just ahead of him, m༒eaning he wasn't burning as much fuel as he would have he was in clear air.

With five laps to run, he was told by his team that he had saved enough fuel, allowing him to 𒁃resist a late challenge from Ericsson.

This was Palou's first victory at an oval anꦬd puts him on the li🥂st of IndyCar's all-time greats.

David Malukas bagged just his second career podium in IndyCar with an impressive drive to third place, while Arrow McLaren's fi💫nished fourth after a slow first pitstop earlier in the race.

The top 1𒆙0 was completed by M💝eyer Shank Racing's Felix Rosenqvist.

Several frontrunners were eliminated from contention ove✱r the course of 200 laps at the Indianapolis Motor Speedwa🐻y.

Ryan Hunter-Reay, who was on a similar strategy to Ericsson, stalled exꦦiting his pitbox while running in first position.

Conor Daly was also in the lead fight heading into the final 50 laps, but suffered a massive drop-o🍸ff in tyre performance at the end of🔴 his penultimate stint, forcing Juncos Holinger Racing to bring him early into the pits.

Takuma Sato, who led a major portion of the race ear📖ly on, missed his braking marker in the pits and fell back through the field.

Josef Newgarden's bid for a third consecutive Indy 500 win ended with a fuel pressure issue. He was runꦏning inside the top 10, having started 32nd after a penalty, when he parked his car in the pits to retire.

Update: Andretti duo Ericsson and Kirkwood, plus Prema's Ilott were relegated to ꦇthe three last 𒁏positions after failing post-race technical checks
