Zak Brown commits to young pairing of Norris and SainzAlonso targets motor racing’s triple crownFernando Alonso will not return to
Formula One with McLaren in the foreseeable future, their chief executive, Zak Brown, has said. However the team announced on Tuesday that he will drive for them at this year’s Indy 500 in pursuit of motor racing’s triple crown.
Brown ruled out another F1 drive for the double world champion who has previously enjoyed two stints with the team and has insisted he was keeping open his options of returning to F1 in 2021. Brown was adamant that he would not risk McLaren’s recent resurgence, which he believed was in no small way down to the “magic” touch of the new young drivers Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz.
