Zak Brown, McLaren’s CEO has admitted Fernando Alonso is considering his future in Formula 1 amid rumours of his departure. Brown travelled to Detroit to visit Alonso’s manager Luis Garcia Abad.
Alonso hasn’t been comfortable in an F1 car since arriving at McLaren over four years ago. The rumours are stronger than ever that the Spaniard wishes to make a move to Indycar.
“I would like to clarify that Luis Garcia Abad was not with me there regarding Fernando’s future. That was not the purpose of the trip,” Brown said to AS newspaper.
“It was to make some contacts, and I also had a good visit, talking to people and doing good business.”
Brown then went on to talk directly about Alonso’s future, but didn’t provide any indication as to where he would go should he leave F1.
“Fernando still wants to race, but it’s true that the F1 calendar is quite hard. He’s been doing it for a long time,” Brown added.
“Fernando has not yet decided his future, although I think whatever he decides, he will continue in a McLaren.”
