HVM drive for Alesi ‘discussed’

New Lotus partner HVM could run Jean Alesi in the 2012 Indianapolis 500 as the team continues to evaluate operating a second car full-time in the IndyCar Series next season. HVM, along with Bryan Herta Autosports and Dreyer & Reinbold, was this week named as an official partner of Group Lotus with the sportscar manufacturer entering the sport as an engine supplier in 2012, using V6 turbo-charged units built by Judd. And with Lotus-backed Alesi intent on making his debut at Indianapolis next May - at the age of 47 - HVM team owner Keith Wiggins admitted to AUTOSPORT that the idea to run the Frenchman alongside regular driver Simona de Silvestro had already been discussed
