LONDON: Renault-owned Alpine could one day help Fernando Alonso achieve his dream of winning the Indianapolis 500 to complete the Triple Crown of Motorsport, according to company boss Laurent Rossi.

"We could do it, we could pull it off. And we would consider it with a very keen eye because we owe Fernando a lot and it would be good for the brand as well. That could be with a Hypercar in the Le Mans LMH category or under NASCAR-owned IMSA's LMDh rules when there is convergence from 2023. A victory in the 500 would make him only the second driver, after the late Briton Graham Hill, to win the F1 title or Monaco along with Le Mans and Indianapolis.

Rossi said Alonso, who won his F1 titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006 and is making a comeback this year after two seasons out, had been fantastic to work with and a true professional. "The guy is a true legend of the game. If he performs this way next year it will be almost a professional mistake for me not to carry on with him," he said.
