McLaren CEO Zak Brown thinks that it would be great for Ferrari to enter IndyCar. According to Brown, it could create 'excitement and intrigue' in the series.

McLaren bought the IndyCar team from Schmidt Peterson in 2020 and will be at the start of the Indy500 next Sunday with three cars. Ferrari have already expressed its interest in participating in the IndyCar after the introduction of the budget cap that Formula 1 teams will face from 2021.

Great for IndyCar

"I think it would be great if Ferrari joined IndyCar. I think it would be great for their brand. I think it would be great for IndyCar, no doubt bringing some additional excitement and intrigue", Brown said to TheRace.com.

"Whether they come as a team or as an engine manufacturer or both, we very much welcome Ferrari’s participation", concludes Brown. In the 1980s, Ferrari also considered entering the IndyCar, but eventually decided not to race anyway.
