Fernando Alonso has signed to race for McLaren in May’s Indianapolis 500 as he makes a third attempt to win the showpiece race and complete motorsport's triple crown.

The double F1 world champion will drive in a third car for the new Arrow McLaren SP team at the Brickyard, joining the outfit’s full-time pairing of Patricio O’Ward and Oliver Askew.

Speaking in an exclusive Sky Sports and NBC Sports joint interview from New York, Alonso said: “It’s one of the most iconic races in the motorsport calendar and I’m extremely happy to be in the month of May again.

“Last year we had some issues and it was not the race we were expecting but this year we go again with the aim to do well and to win the race.”

The Spaniard added: “Once you experience the Indy 500 it will remain always in your heart. The fans are amazing, the show is unbelievable and the race itself you know why it's one of the greatest in the calendar.” (Sky Sports)
