According to several American motorsport publications, McLaren's reserve driver Kevin Magnussen could find a ride in the Verizon IndyCar series this year.
After a rookie season in Formula 1 with McLaren, Magnussen has been “benched” for this season to make room for two-time World Champion, Fernando Alonso.
The young Dane confirmed a few days ago that he would not participate in any official practice session this year for McLaren.
US media say that Magnussen, a Honda driver with McLaren, may find a ride in the IndyCar series. Honda engines power Andretti Autosport's cars.
Team owner Michael Andretti intends to run four full-time cars and probably one part-time car in the series this year, and Magnussen is just one of the names rumoured to fill one of the part-time seats available.
The 22-year-old Dane could drive an Andretti Indy car when IndyCar and F1 races do not conflict.
