Ranking the top 10 IndyCar drivers of 2021

In an enthralling 2021 IndyCar campaign, the series bounced back from its COVID-19 truncated year prior and Alex Palou defeated both the established order and his fellow young guns to clinch a maiden title. It capped a remarkable season with plenty of standout performers

The 2021 IndyCar Series was a thriller, with seven different drivers prevailing in as many races at the start of the season, and nine in total.

Three drivers entered the final round with a chance of the title, but none had a realistic hope of toppling the year's standout performer Alex Palou.
