McLaren and Fernando Alonso took the world of motorsport by surprise this morning by announcing the two-time world champion's venture over to the Indy 500.
It's a daring and bold endeavor for anyone, let alone for an F1 driver with no experience of oval racing.
In a video released on Twitter, McLaren boss Zak Brown and Alonso deliver their first thought on one very ambitious adventure.
