McLaren has no doubts Fernando Alonso can handle his World Endurance Championship commitments this season without letting it detract from his 2018 Formula One campaign.
Alonso has signed a deal to contest five WEC races with Toyota this season, including the Le Mans 24 Hours and the 6 Hours of Fuji, which was moved a week forward to avoid a clash with the U.S. Grand Prix in order for the Spaniard to participate in both. If the current schedule goes to plan, Alonso will have contested 27 races by the end of the year -- on top of a full F1 season, he started the year by appearing at the Dayonta 24 Hours.
