Formula E 'going after' Fernando Alonso for 2019/20 season

Formula E has set its sights on adding Fernando Alonso to the series in time for its fifth season.

Two-time world champion Alonso will leave Formula One at the end of the current season and looks set to take on some form of IndyCar commitment. The Spaniard completed an IndyCar test at Barber Park earlier this month and has said he will be ready to make a decision in October.

Alonso will also continue the rest of the World Endurance Championship super-season, which will culminate with the 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours -- an event he won with Toyota teammates Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima earlier this year.
