McLaren have appointed former Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley to run their 2019 Indianapolis 500 campaign with Fernando Alonso.
McLaren are setting up a team in a bid for the two-time Formula 1 champion to complete motorsport’s informal triple crown of Monaco, Indy and Le Mans.
Fernley will report directly to McLaren chief executive officer Zak Brown.
Brown said Fernley’s appointment underlined McLaren’s determination to run the Indycar team “as a separate entity to its Formula 1 activities”.
