McLaren partnered Andretti Autosport in 2017 to take part in Indy 500 last year and seem destined to go again next year.

McLaren F1, one of the most decorated teams in F1, has been going on a downward spiral for almost 5 years. Fernando Alonso has looked for options other than F1 to show his talent and has been open about his dream of achieving the Triple Crown of Motorsport (https://www.sportskeeda.com/motorsports/alonso-edges-closer-to-triple-crown-with-le-mans-glory) and has previously raced for Andretti Autosport in Indy 500.

Michael Andretti, the owner of Andretti Autosport, has been linked to buying a team in F1 for some time and with such a great reputation and a good relation with McLaren, he may well target the Force India team. McLaren, having a lot of talented young drivers, can also look for a sister team for improvements and data in their team. If Fernando leaves F1 next year, McLaren will have huge money to invest in a team, if not a driver.
