Fernando Alonso has included a return to Formula 1 as an option for 2020 as he prepares for his final race with McLaren at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Spaniard was asked about his future while competing at the Shanghai 6 Hours in the WEC this past weekend, one of two series he’s already committed to racing in next year along with a return to the Indianapolis 500.
Having admitted his current passion for F1 isn’t high, however, the double world champion will see how he feels following a quieter year.
“There’s going to be a couple more challenges than the Indy 500,” he told Chinese news agency Xinhua.
“I feel I need to recharge my batteries a bit next year, but in 2020, of course it can be a possibility to have a full season in IndyCar, a full season back in F1, or a full season in another series.”

Alonso’s main target in 2019 though is completing the Triple Crown with the Indy 500, the only hurdle left following his Le Mans 24 Hours win earlier this year.
And the 37-year-old does think he’ll have a much better chance than he did in 2017.
“That experience is going to be key, because I now know the race, and I know the event,” he said.
“It’s a long two weeks, and though the qualifying and race format seem easy to people who have done it for years, everything was new for me, so I think that experience will be a huge help.”
