McLaren boss Zak Brown working to find Stoffel Vandoorne's next race drive

McLaren boss Zak Brown says he is working to ensure axed Formula One driver Stoffel Vandoorne has a seat on the grid next year and has suggested he could be a part of the team's rumoured IndyCar project.

On Monday McLaren confirmed Vandoorne will leave the team at the end of 2018, with junior driver Lando Norris taking his race seat. Vandoorne came into McLaren amidst high expectations following a dominant Formula Two championship in 2015 but has been comprehensively outperformed by Fernando Alonso this year.

Vandoorne has been linked with Toro Rosso in Sauber in recent weeks.
