Three-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou got his 2025 season off to the best possible start on Sunday, taking an impressive victory in the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

The Chip Ganassi Racing star had qualified relatively poorly around the streets of St. Pete, starting the race down in P8.

However, at this stage of his career, Palou is a cool customer, and throughout the race, he steadily made progress towards the front of the field, truly bursting into contention for the win at the last round of pit stops.

The Spanish star did not have it all his own way, however. Late on, both Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon were charging him down, with it anyone's guess at that stage who would take the chequered flag as they began to approach back markers.

After an exciting season opener, let's take a look at the full finishing order from the 100-lap race.
