Ever since being dropped out of Red Bull last season to make way for Sergio Perez, Alex Albon has been competing in DTM this year while doing some tests for his Milton-Keynes-based team.

This weekend saw the Thai racing driver visit Indianapolis for an IndyCar race, where was spotted with former rival, Romain Grosjean. Seeing the potential that the racing series holds, Albon isn’t crossing out the idea of competing in IndyCar.

Albon might be lured to race in IndyCar, as both former Haas F1 drivers, Kevin Magnussen & Grosjean have had experience in the series.

Alex Albon sees IndyCar as an option as F1 hopes fade

Speaking to IndyCar.com, Albon said, “My main goal is to be in F1, but there’s never a 100% certainty on that, so you’ve got to have plan B and C to see what else is out there. I’ve always had that interest within IndyCar. You see it on the rise now, especially with the viewership and everything going up.”

“Let’s just say, if the right opportunity is there, or let’s say the lack of opportunity is there in F1, and there’s an opportunity here that’s a good opportunity with a good team, and if in these next few days I think it’s something I would enjoy, obviously then the odds go up,” Albon concluded.

A return to the team is unlikely for Albon

The British-Thai driver will aim to redeem himself at Red Bull or their sister team, AlphaTauri. However, team advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko is hoping to keep Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Pierre Gasly, and Yuki Tsunoda at their respective team’s next season making Albon dream to return to F1 a nightmare.

Speaking to Felix Görner in an exclusive interview with RTL, the Austrian said, “We should be ready to announce our driver pairings for both Red Bull and AlphaTauri. In principle we want to maintain the existing pairings. But that takes time, because we include all relevant facts.”

With chances of returning to the grid next year diminishing, Albon will be hoping to make a name for himself in the DTM series or make a switch to the underrated IndyCar championship.
