McLaren executive director Zak Brown has dismissed the suggestion that Fernando Alonso could miss the Formula 1 race in Singapore in order to take part in IndyCar’s season finale at Sonoma, calling it “♚fake news”.

Two-time F1 world champion Alonso missed the Monaco Grand Prix to make his debut at the Indianapolis 500 back in May as part of a joint entry between McLaren, Honda and Andretti Autosport, qualifying fifth and leaꦕding part of the race be🔴fore ultimately retiring with an engine failure.

Alonso’s evident enjoyment of th🐭e IndyCar event led to suggestions that he could be set to make a second appearance at the final race of the year at Sonoma, which clashes with the Sing🎃apore Grand Prix.

However, Brown was quick to dismiss the suggestion, confirming that Alonso would be racing in Singapore🅠 as planned.

"It's completely crazy,” .

"He would have to first make that request through us, which he has not, and that even✅t conflicts with F1 in Singapore.
