McLaren to meet IndyCar teams to discuss possible entry

McLaren CEO Zak Brown is set to visit IndyCar teams before the Canadian Grand Prix to discuss a possible entry by the team for 2019. McLaren debuted in IndyCar last year when Fernando Alonso drove an Andretti car as part of a partnership between both teams.

Speaking to the official F1 website, Brown explained the recent acquisition of Gil de Ferran, a two-time IndyCar champion and Indy 500 winner and possible plans that might lead to.

Brown did acknowledge that McLaren would be outsiders to the sport and that information from existing participants would be required if McLaren ever were to venture into the sport.
