Zak Brown says McLaren needs to return to winning ways in Foꦉrmula 1 before it would cons𝐆ider a full-time move into IndyCar. 

Brown has already 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:ruled out a return to t𝓰he Indianapolis 500 for McLaren in 2018 following Fernando Alonso’s shock entry last year, insisting the Woking-bas🐻ed outfit must focus on being successful in F1 with new engine supplier Renault, having cut its ties with Honda after a disastrous three-year spell.

When asked if McLaren had been tempted to make a full-time move into In🌌dyCar for 2018 following the introduction of new aero kits, McLaren’s executive director told : ”No. I think the cars look great. I think the cars look really good, but [it's] too soon. 

“With all that we've got going on in Formula 1, while the mechanics and engi🍸neers and all that are 100 percent focused, the minute me or Jonathan Neale or John Allert or Eric [Boullier] are not spending 100 percent of our time on Formula 1 that starts becoming a distraction for us.

"I've got to find more partners for our Formula 1 team, so any moment I'm trying to find an IndyCar team is a moment I'm not spending on trying to fund the Formula 1 team, which is priority number one💮.

"So I think before we leap into any of these other racing series, we've got to get back on the podium in Fಌ1,” he added. “As a fan of McLaren and as a racer I want to do them all this year, but as a business we've got to lay out a 10-year strategy and why we're doing it, how we're doing it, how it's sustainable.

"With all that's going on, not only with our Formula 1 team but Formula 1 as a whole, we need to be spending all our time on making sure whatever happens in 2021 we're in 🍌a good place. So I don't think any of those other series are around the corner.”

While Alonso will not be contesting this year’s Indy 500, the Spaniard will be 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:taking on the 24 Hou൲rs of Le Mans with Toyota in June as he continues his bid to complete motorsport’s unofficial ‘Triple Crown’.
