INDIANAPOLIS – It was May 19, 2019, and Lorena Alonso had just watched her brother, Fernando, suffer a crushing blow at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This year, Fernando Alonso is back for another attempt at the Indianapolis 500. When Alonso came to Indy for the first time in 2017, he was driving for a combined effort with McLaren and Andretti Autosport. In the first two days of practice for this year’s Indy 500, Alonso has once again been up near the start of the timing sheets. Both Bourdais and Hampson left that team during the offseason, with Hampson joining Arrow McLaren SP where he is working with Alonso. Hampson said Alonso remembers everything, from his experience with previous teams to the nuances of the current Indy car.
