Alonso has also attempted the win the Indy 500 three times, most recently in 2020, but said he won't be able to try again until at least 2023 due to his commitments to the Alpine F1 team.
The 2021 Formula One season is set to begin on March 28 in Bahrain, after the planned opening event in Australia was postponed due to coronvirus-related restrictions.
