SAKHIR, Bahrain -- Just four months after turning his back on Formula One, Fernando Alonso will return to the wheel of a contemporary McLaren F1 car on Tuesday as he takes part in a tyre test with the team in Bahrain.
Alonso announced his decision to leave F1 at the end of 2018 after saying he wanted to pursue other goals, such as victory at the Indy 500 with a McLaren-entered car.
