Fernando Alonso could be targeted by Andretti Autosport if they are successful in their bid to launch a new Formula 1 team.
The company, owned by Michael Andretti – himself a former F1 racer and son of champion Mario – already participates in a wide range of series including IndyCar and Formula E. And they could add F1 to that list in the near future, having worked hard to join the grid.
Their plan to buy Sauber last season fell through, leaving them to switch tactic and work to create their own team. There has been some resistance from within the sport and the FIA has yet to grant the Andrettis permission, but already they have begun construction on a massive new £166m facility in Fishers, Indiana.
