12 Questions with Austin Cindric (2026)
Q: What was your approach to social media and AI experimentation, and what did you learn?
I pursued it for engagement and efficiency, but I learned to balance creativity with the potential for negative feedback, recognizing when to continue and when to pull back to avoid unnecessary conflict.
12 Questions with Austin Cindric (2026)
Q: What leadership trait do you admire most in leadership figures like Roger Penske?
The ability to remember experiences with people, not just their names, which makes interactions more meaningful and helps maintain a personal connection at every level of the organization.
12 Questions with Austin Cindric (2026)
Q: What is your perspective on being in a debrief after a bad race?
I see it as essential, focusing on reading the room, understanding who felt things went off, and then breaking down what happened while also probing for any internal or process flaws to improve future performance.
12 Questions with Alex Palou (2026)
Q: What is it like to be in a debrief after a bad race?
Debriefs vary; missing pace is the hardest to handle, but a mistake is acceptable if you still have speed; the key is understanding why pace is missing and fixing it quickly.
12 Questions with Alex Palou (2026)
Q: If you could go back to the early days before you reached IndyCar, what is one different decision you wish you had made in your career?
None; I believe every decision, given what I knew at the time, led me to where I am today and changing past choices could affect my happiness now.
