## Resource

Alex Palou locked down pole position at the Detroit Grand Prix with a blistering 1:01.901 lap, extending his championship lead and securing his third straight pole this season. He’ll start alongside fellow Honda drivers Will Power and Scott McLaughlin, while teammate Scott Dixon battled oversteer to finish fourth. The session was marred by crashes for Mick Schumacher and David Malukas—latter’s car is now in serious need of repairs—and Josef Newgarden, still nursing a foot injury, managed a gritty 21st. After a red flag disrupted the Firestone Fast 12, Marcus Armstrong surged into the top six. Palou’s confident post-qualifying comments suggest he’s ready to dominate—can he hold off the field and keep building his title advantage?
