It is largely expected that Fernando Alonso will be driving a McLaren Chevy when he pulls into victory lane at the Indy 500

Zak Brown said in Abu Dhabi at the F1 season finale, “We will have an IndyCar engine announcement this side of Christmas." he said.

“We are 100% focused on IndyCar with Bob Fernley, so he is leading the project full-time, making sure nothing is a distraction to F1."

He is going to be recruiting extra personnel, outside of F1 so that the two crews can co-exist and work in parallel."

“He is in Indianapolis next week building resources to start the process, we already have some people recruited."
