Outgoing McLaren driver Stoffel Vandoorne's next step could be a full-time IndyCar drive in 2019, with one of the series' teams confirming an approach for the Belgian's services.
McLaren will have an all-new F1 line-up next season, with Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris replacing Vandoorne and Fernando Alonso. While Alonso has already confirmed he is leaving F1, Vandoorne's options in the series look slim -- Toro Rosso had looked like his best option, but the Italian team looks set to confirm Daniil Kvyat and Pascal Wehrlein for 2019.
His alternative might be a switch to America's premier open-wheel category.
