As Homer Simpson once said; "If something's hard to do then it's not worth doing".
With those wise words in mind, McLaren Honda are binning off the F1 for a bit (a discipline where in recent years they've found points to be rare as rocking horse shit) and focusing on the the IndyCar series instead.
Jenson Button's coming out of retirement for the former's inconsequential Monaco Grand Prix, allowing Fernando Alonso to head off in pursuit of stateside glory.
And this is what he'll be driving.

Looks great, but whether or not it'll be any cop on the track remains to be seen. Don't hold your breath, eh?
