5 Drivers Who Could Replace Fernando Alonso at Mclaren

#2 Robert Kubica

Kubica is quick, but he hasn't raced in F1 since 2011

With the Pole making an unlikely comeback to F1 as Williams test driver in 2018 following 7 years away on the back of a career-threatening rally crash in 2011 he could probably view his chances of racing the Williams next year pretty high given the imminent exit of Lance Stroll and the poor performance of Sergey Sirotkin.

However, if the British team need to raise funds then they may be forced to go with a new set of pay-drivers in order to keep the company afloat. Mclaren, who paid Fernando Alonso a reported $25m last year, have no such trouble, and it could be attractive for him to race for one of F1s most glamorous teams on his return to the grid.
