Any chance he does some laps during practice at Barber? Just for fun or familiarization with the car? See how he likes it? Would be a good treat for the fans there, since he'll be there already. |

Alonso will be at Barber.
And for those who are slow to read, I will go to the Indianapolis 500! |

Zac Brown says he wants to see McLaren at Indy every year. This is mere speculation but could this be a precursor for McLaren to return to IndyCar as a chassis manufacturer?
Another chassis manufacturer competing with Dallara, I think would be good as IndyCar could then finally shake off the spec aspect. Of course this would have to be cost effective for both McLaren and teams alike. http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/129127 |

It's a good move, Indycar is gaining popularity and it's good to diversify your brand

Some interesting comments from Will Power, obviously with regards to today's race at Phoenix but also for IndyCar in general. Maybe this is something that will transpire with the 2018 car?

On the other hand opening up the series in the North West, reviving Portland and having another race in Canada, makes much more sense. The series already has a good nucleus of races and building on this is just what's required, then look to expanding abroad, to countries with an established motor sports fan base, like Mexico and Australia. |

The Geely chairman being involved is an interesting tidbit though.

I understand that doing an oval race at Mexico is more interesting than a road/street race.
Puebla is the only large oval, I think. But it has tight, flat corners and long straights. It's not very wide either. It would need a massive rebuild. |

https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/n...for-19-844234/ Why doesn't Mark Miles go for Hermanos RodrÃ*guez, instead? No work needs to be done, race fans don't have far to travel and Bernie can't object as he no longer runs F1. It would be ideal as a season opener. |

Backmarker in F1 and Formula E...the only "interesting" thing he'd bring is oodles of money.

Davison is from the Lex Davison dynasty isn't he? He could help Indycar back to Australia. I'd like to see more of him personally. Although realistically Gutierrez will probably get the seat.

Gutierrez is one of the more unlikable drivers there is. I'd rather have a likable driver to watch, but understand it if it brings coyne some coin.

Guitierrez has talent, but he never really makes you sit up and take notice, so we'll see how well he goes if he gets the seat
