Refreshing to hear some people in his F1 team are really into what he is doing when he mentioned his strategist had put together traces for previous Indy races for him to go through.
I'm sure a lot of people at McLaren will view his Indy 500 race as just a distraction and waste of time. I've had first hand experience of this when an F1 team I was working for decided to go salt flat racing with an F1 car. I couldn't believe how uninterested some people were where I thought it was the coolest thing in the world to be part of.
Might be wrong but I'm sure McLaren are the only race team/manufacturer to have won the Indy 500, F1 Championship and Le Mans 24hrs
