Mark Webber believes there’s “no rush at all” for Fernando Alonso to make his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut, amid the Spaniard’s goal of becoming only the second driver to win the unofficial “Triple Crown” of motorsports.
Alonso, who will be taking part in this month’s Indianapolis 500 for the first time in a McLaren-backed entry fielded by Andretti Autosport, has long been linked to a drive at Webber’s former Porsche LMP1 team at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
While any immediate plans of Alonso joining the German squad have been ruled out, Webber, a longtime friend and competitor of the two-time World Champion, said he still has a number of years ahead of him to tick off the box at Le Mans.
