Fernando Alonso will do more than bring a lot of excitement to the Indianapolis 500 when he races in the event on May 28.
He’ll also look good doing so.
Preparing for his first on-track test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Wednesday, the superstar Formula One driver debuted the white overalls he’ll wear and orange livery he’ll pilot for Andretti Autosport in the 101st Indy 500. He went with a classic look that Andretti hopes puts it back in victory lane for the second consecutive year, after Alexander Rossi took home the Borg-Warner Trophy last year.
