Two-time world champi🍰on Alonso will leave F1 at the end of the season in order to pursue other challenges in racing, with a move into IndyCar seeming his most likely course of action.
However, a big hint has been dropped suggesting Alon🏅so could be due to complete a NASCAR test in the near future, with seven-time Cup Series champion Johnson potentially due to enjoy a run-out in Europe in return following a video that saw both drivers chat to each other on the phone, discussing racing plans.
Two champions.

Johnson: “Sounds like you might have some free time on your h♈ands soon?"
Alonso: “꧃Yes, yes, nothing sorted yet. Have you get any good ideas?”
Johnson: “Always man, I’m always full of good ideas.”
Alonso: “Plentyౠ of cool stuff to do on your side of the▨ pond I think.”
Johnson: “But there’s also🍬 some pretty cool stuff to do on your side of the pond.”
The video then finished with clips of both a McLaren F1 car and Johnson’s NASCAR, before teasing ‘two championsꦰ,༒ to be continued’.
Alonso has made public that he is a fan of Johnson’s, having met with the NASCAR driver at the 𒊎series’ annual media tour b🐽ack in January at Daytona.
Alonso also stated at the event he found NASCAR “very attractive,” ♍and would be keen to try out one of the series cars if given the opportunity.
