However, the Spanish star was once tipped for a Formula 1 move, after he took part in a practice session with McLaren at the United States Grand Prix in 2022.

His relationship with the Woking-based outfit has since ended as he decided to remain with the Chip Ganassi Racing team, instead of pursuing an F1 drive with McLaren.
