LE MANS, France -- McLaren boss Zak Brown says Fernando Alonso has shown his qualities as a team player in preparations for his Le Mans 24 Hours debut.
Alonso and his teammates in the No.8 Toyota car will start from pole position thanks to a lap from Kazuki Nakajima in qualifying earlier this week. Although there is a lot of attention around Alonso's participation this weekend the Spaniard will not be the driver lining up on the grid ahead of the race.
"He'll be fine with that," Brown said. "His ego doesn't get in the way of his driving, and he's a team player," Brown said.
