Alonso targeted for sensational McLaren return
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown wants Fernando Alonso to return to McLaren and has expressed interest in having him join Arrow McLaren IndyCar team for another shot at winning the Indy500.
Alonso, a two-time F1 world champion, raced for McLaren in F1 from 2007 and again from 2015-2018, as well as briefly competing for McLaren’s IndyCar team in 2020.
At 44, Alonso is currently racing for Aston Martin in F1 and has hinted at retirement after his current contract ends in 2026, depending on the team’s performance.
Brown believes Alonso could win the Indy500 with McLaren and is keen on reuniting with him for the iconic race, as well as potentially seeing him race in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Aston Martin, with the addition of design legend Adrian Newey, aims to improve their performance and become title contenders in the coming years, possibly not until 2027 or 2028.
