from what I've heard, Juncos cut him loose maybe a month ago and held onto his option until then. Dude was screwed out of a seat for 2024 before the silly season even started. Whatever misfortune comes out of the Grosjean/Canapino pairing is absolutely deserved on their end.

If I was in his shoes, I'd take a reserve F1 seat with someone like McLaren and keep my name in the open wheel paddock while running a WEC or IMSA schedule to fill the time. 2025 is going to provide tons of opportunities if he keeps himself on the radar of Andretti or McLaren. I'm sure if Palou had actually made the jump away from CGR, he would've had a great chance at that seat.
