In another touching moment, Palou brought Lucia along to the post-race celebrations with the Chip Ganassi team after his victory at the season-opening St. Petersburg Grand Prix in Florida.

Alex Palou speaks on teaching his daughter life lessons with UNO game

Alex Palou recently opened up about teaching his daughter, Lucia, valuable life lessons. In an interview with motorsports commentator James Hinchcliffe, the 27-year-old revealed that he uses the game of UNO to introduce her to some important realities of life.

During the conversation, Hinchcliffe referenced one of Palou’s moments with his daughter, describing how the Chip Ganassi star approached their UNO games with a competitive spirit.

Reflecting on that moment, Palou explained that it was his way of preparing Lucia for the real world.

"Did you see the picture when I had plus five laid out? She was not expecting that. She needs to get ready for life. In general it's like that. Everybody cheats around you. Everybody. When I mean everybody, it's everybody. I'm just showing her that even her dad is gonna cheat and that's fine. She needs to keep working, and it is what it is," said Palou while speaking to Hinchcliffe (via IndyCar Season in Review)

Further touching on what career path he would want his daughter to pursue, the former McLaren F1 test driver stated he had no specific expectations:

"I don't mind if she wants to be a professional golfer or a professional tennis player, I'm not gonna push her too much. Or if she wants to be the best musician ever. Whatever she wants.”

In the world of sports, it’s not uncommon for children to follow in their parents' footsteps. Whether Lucia will one day pursue a career in racing like her father remains a question only time can answer.
