Former F1 driver Jean Alesi will come out of a decade-long retirement from single-seater racing to compete in next year’s Indianapolis 500. The 47-year-old Alesi has been serving as a test driver and ambassador for Lotus, which is joining IndyCar as an engine supplier starting next year.

The French former Ferrari driver, famed for his high-risk driving style, has not competed in a single-seater car since retiring from Formula One at the end of the 2001 season. He has remained active in motorsport by racing in German touring cars, the Speedcar series and LeMans Series. Alesi did not announce which team he will race for.
