AUSTIN, Texas -- McLaren will not commit to a full IndyCar schedule in 2019 but is undecided on whether it will make a one-off entry in the Indy 500.
McLaren has been assessing a potential entry to the American open-wheel series for much of the year. Company CEO Zak Brown visited the IndyCar paddock in Detroit and Fernando Alonso tested a car in September in conjunction with Andretti Autosport, who teamed up with McLaren for the Spaniard's unsuccessful attempt to win the Indy 500 in 2017.
Having weighed up the requirements of entering the series as a team Brown said next year is just too early to get something put together.
