Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton say no to Indycar

Two fellow champions have no intention of following Fernando Alonso into Indycar once their F1 careers end.

Two fellow champions have said that they have no intention of following Fernando Alonso into Indycar once their Formula 1 careers end.

Two-time world champion Alonso told the Spanish press last month: "There are three competitions at the top of the legend of motor sport: Monaco, Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500.

"I know it's difficult to win all three but it would be a great challenge."

Alonso's current teammate and the 2009 world champion Jenson Button, however, said of Indycar: "Too dangerous."

Also according to Auto Motor und Sport, reigning triple world champion Lewis Hamilton added: "When Nigel Mansell raced in 1993, the cars were skill cool. Today not."

Button and Hamilton currently sit 16th and third respectively in the 2016 driver rankings.
