![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Watching from the pits, is here for the #HIGPA! #INDYCAR of the more difficult mini-games in Yakuza Kiwami is the Pocket Racing Circuit. What happens in 2018 we’ll have to wait and see we’re working very hard to give Fernando and Stoffel Vandoorne a much more competitive car than we’re producing right now,” added Brown. I hope we have the problem of Monaco and Indy in the same weekend and we are fighting for the championship. “We’ve brought in Gil de Ferran to assist Fernando in his way around Indianapolis, and I’d like to see McLaren here on a more regular basis. We had just enough time to do this very properly, when I called Mark and ultimately Michael, it was good that he was already far down the road with the car, because we need to be competitive the whole idea is to run at the front of the field.” I’ve personally been around it my whole life. To make it happen now in this year is making me very, very proud, and makes me very happy as well.”īrown gave explained how the deal came about and revealed that Gil de Ferrarn has been drafted into help coaching Alonso, “Giving the circumstances of how we are running in Formula 1, and Fernando’s desire and our desire and Honda’s desire to win together, this created a very small window of opportunity that we jumped on.” “That target – very ambitious target, because only one man in history did it, and it was attractive at the time – I didn’t think it was possible to attempt another race apart from Formula 1 until I was retired. And how to achieve that, I think is Formula 1, Indy 500 and 24 Hours Le Mans. “Four or five years ago, I started thinking about how to grow up as a driver, become a little bit more complete driver to do so you need to win the best races in the world, the most prestigious races in the world. But if you love motorsport I think this is good news.” ![]() “This is quite a unique thing – I’m aware of the difficulty. … the last drivers to attempt something similar, they have bigger experience so they have couple of months of preparation, more tests, more oval and superspeedway tests at well.” “With the level of professionalism and commitment in the last two decades of motorsport, it’s difficult to jump from one series to another in the same season. Also with coach Gil de Ferran, which I’m sure will be very useful for all these new things. I’m with the best team possible for this type of lessons. I think the restarts, strategies will be different as well. “Let’s see if I can learn as quick as I can. Traffic is a big thing from what I’m hearing.” The traffic I think, the level of downforce, feeling with the car, running with a car that’s not symmetric on the straights, on braking. I want to be as prepared as anyone else.”Īsked what he feels will be his biggest challenge when making his Indycar debut in the wrold’s biggest race, Alonso replied, “Everything. But I will go step by step trying to learn, do some simulator laps … and then as good as anyone else as traffic when it comes time. I know that if the race was tomorrow, I’m not ready to do it because I know nothing about it. “Winning is something really big, you need a lot of things to come to you, but I take it more like an experience, very open. I’ve been working already, exchanging some emails with engineers and looking at some data.” “With Alexander, with Takuma as well, they can give me some tips, but I think that the whole team, the environment that Andretti puts on for the race will be the most beneficial part. “I need to go through different steps in this learning, I need to do it in two weeks’ time, no more than that, and that’s quite exciting.” “It’s going to be a very difficult challenge for me to get used to the car, get used to the superspeedway and all the techniques that are unique to be on top of it, but I have the best team around me, I have amazing people that will help me to speed up this process and it’s so challenging that it’s exciting at the same time. This is what I’m trying to experience with the Indy 500 adventure. For any racing driver in the world to compete in the best races is the main goal, against the best drivers and the best and fastest cars in the world. Alonso tried out an Andretti Autosports Dallara for size and spoke to media at length during a press conference with McLaren chief Zak Brown.Īlonso told reporters, “It has been an amazing week or 10 days from the announcement – I’m really excited about this opportunity. ![]()
