Fernando Alonso need not look very far for a reminder of the infuriating vagaries associated with trying to win the Indianapolis 500.
That said, it might not be a good idea to ask his boss, Michael Andretti, about what can go wrong when you do everything right. And it might not help their relationship if Fernando reminds Michael that he holds the record for the most laps led at the Indy 500 without actually winning it.
That undesirable statistic is exacerbated by Andretti having come close -- very close -- on occasions almost too numerous to mention.
