Stoffel Vandoorne said farewell to Formula One at Sunday's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but McLaren boss Zak Brown would not be surprised to see the Belgian back on a future starting grid.
The 26-year-old, who dominated the 2015 GP2 championship but struggled in Formula One with an uncompetitive car, will debut in the all-electric Formula E series next month with the Mercedes-affiliated HWA Racelab team. In two seasons with McLaren, Vandoorne managed a best result of seventh and was out-qualified by double world champion team mate Fernando Alonso in all 21 races this season.
"I think Stoffel's a great talent," Brown told Reuters.
