Indy was good publicity for both Kurt Busch (Nascar) and Robby Gordon in the past trying to do the double (Coca Cola 600 and Indy same day.) This stunt may be just what McLaren and Honda need to improve their image.

Alexander Rossi won Indy as a Rookie while still being a reserve driver for Manor in F1. How hard can it be?

Alonso is an excellent driver and will probably adapt well to IndyCar but will either have problems or finish outside the top ten. Indy is hard to master. Four corners...how hard is that? Unless he has a mentor or someone very good to train him in the intricacies of the track, he won't get it on his first go around. Indy is a team effort. Not just the driver. Good pit stops combined with good fuel strategy and a heaping dose of good luck might get him a top ten. Might not. I don't foresee him winning on his first go around. Nigel Mansell had the best team and car at Indy in 1993 and still finished third behind Emerson and Arie.
