1) I hope he chooses WEC over IndyCar
2) I guess we know where Kimi could end up at now.

So, I did a quick browse through the reddits and have these points:
-H e is running the full WEC season (which runs through Le Mans 2019) with T oyota
-If he wants to run Indycar in 2019, it’ll depend on on conflicts with the 3 WEC races in 2019

1. I’d rather see him in a series where there’s actual competition at the top level. LMP1 looks like it’s just gonna be the Toyota show for the forseeable future.
2. Rumor has it that Kimi isn’t going anywhere. Hard to know for sure, but that seat might be a landing spot for Sainz.

More like making Indy500 popular for one more race.

Honestly, the racing this year ha s been great. Not sure if it’s the new chassis (which looks fantastic) or if it’s some of the “new” drivers (Wickens), but it’s much more enjoyable to watch.
A big name like Alonso never hurts, and he was pretty strong in the old car.

I mean, depending on which three races they are, and the WEC rules (which I’m not familiar with), he might be able to swing it one way or the other.

Can’t say I blame him.

Well, he’s running for a championship in WEC, so I’d assume it would take priority. Even with conflicts, I could see him run a part time Indy schedule and definitely do the 500. Ganassi has an open seat for next year...

He’s had some really rotten luck in F1 since his World Championship year. The move to McLaren, the Honda debacle...
I’m half expecting McLaren to be the team to beat in 2019 now.

If it weren’t for bad luck he’d have no luck at all.

Anyone’s guess is as good as mine. To some extent I had dismissed the showings in other series as a result of contractual requirements not met or restructured at same pay schedule following the string of early retirements. In unkind terms he was pimped out more than he was chasing the Triple Crown of his own volition.
