Fernando Alonso seems to be enjoying his life outside of Formula One. The Spaniard has won Le Mans, launched his own racing team and just over a week ago was hooning Toyota"s Dakar Hilux around a desert. Now, another toy. McLaren has unveiled its Indy 500 car for Alonso to have his second crack at securing motorsport"s Triple Crown (the Monaco Grand Prix, Le Mans and the Indy 500) something which only Graham Hill has done before him. Alonso took his first attempt at the 500-mile slog back in 2017, when he was a strong contender for an incredible rookie victory, leading 27 laps before his Honda engine failed.
