Alonso opens door to Verstappen Le Mans partnership

Fernando Alonso has revealed that he would love to comPete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with fellow Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen.

Alonso has twice won the endurance racing event in 2018 and 2019, comPeting for the Toyota squad with teammates Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Buemi.

Alonso keen on Verstappen Le Mans partnership

"In the future, for sure, if there is any opportunity [to race at Le Mans with Verstappen]," Alonso told select media, including TheFOXposts.Com.

"We are very good friends, we are always in contact. I would love to do Le Mans – if I do Le Mans once again – with Max.

"You know that [when] you pass the car [to your teammates] – when you go to rest – [you are passing it to] the best [drivers], so your car is in the best hands.

"That would be an honour."
