McLaren entry to IndyCar 'looking favorable'

McLaren boss Zak Brown is leaning towards entering the British team into IndyCar next year.

Brown and McLaren's F1 racing director Eric Boullier visited the IndyCar paddock in Detroit between the Monaco Grand Prix and this weekend's race in Canada as the American continues to explore the opportunity to join the series. Michael Andretti, the owner of the Andretti Autosports team which helped McLaren and Fernando Alonso contest last year's Indy 500 and a likely partner in any full-time venture, was Brown's guest on Friday and Saturday in Montreal.

"We're seriously considering IndyCar," Brown said.
