The Spaniard hasn’t competed at “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” since 2020, which was held behind closed doors and delayed until August due to the COVID pandemic. All three of his attempts came in a McLaren-supported effort, which saw him qualify for the field of 33 twice. Undoubtedly, his best outing was the debut in 2017, earning top rookie honors after qualifying fifth, leading 27 laps and being in the mix for victory until his engine expired while running seventh with 21 laps remaining.
