Formula 1 | McLaren tries the Ricciardo coup: offered 20 million dollars per season

Sensational indiscretion launched by Bild yesterday: McLaren would be interested in the services of Daniel Ricciardo. Despite Luis Garcia Abad's slowdown regarding a possible transfer to IndyCar, Fernando Alonso seems increasingly distant from the Formula One circus, especially after the last 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The Spaniard, in fact, longs to conquer the now well-known "Triple Crown" and the Indianapolis 500 is the only obstacle that separates him from realizing this dream. Having seen and considered Stoffel Vandoorne's situation and the doubts hovering around the Spaniard's figure, McLaren would like to cover itself by attempting a real coup, snatching one of the most interesting and concrete talents on the world scene from Red Bull. According to the German newspaper, Zack Brown would have gone up to an offer of 20 million dollars, also guaranteeing a reliable technical plan that will be based on Renault's exclusive partnership. We'll see how this latest market situation regarding the Australian driver will evolve.
