McLaren, Vandoorne already announced in Belgium for 2016?

The indiscretion was collected by colleagues at Italiaracing and it would be sensational. According to some well-informed people Stoffel vandoorne, current GP2 dominator with the ART team and already included in the McLaren youth program for two years, will soon be announced as Woking's starting driver to race with Fernando Alonso in 2016. This year Vandoorne has already driven the MP4-30 in tests at the end of June in Austria.

The twenty-three-year-old Belgian - a true dominator of the cadet category - is considered by experts to be a real talent, who performed well in all the minor categories where he raced. However, if the rumors circulating were confirmed in the next few weeks, there would be a double whammy at McLaren.

First of all to the detriment of Jenson Button, confirmed for a difficult 2015 and sacrificed on the altar of youth, and secondly to the detriment of Kevin Magnussen, born in '92, "parked" on the bench to make room for Fernando Alonso with the increasingly vain dream of returning to the starting lineup after a decent 2014 also studded with a podium on his debut.
