Andretti Autosport team boss Michael Andretti has revealed that it is "very possible" Robin Frijns will run in a fourth car at a few IndyCar races in 2016.
Frijns joined Andretti in Formula E for the 2015-2016 season after a turbulent few years that saw him go from beating Jules Bianchi to the 2012 Formula Renault 3.5 title to racing in the Blancpain GT series, having failed to make the step up to Formula 1.
Frijns has made a big impression in just his first three races for the American team, finishing on the podium in Putrajaya despite completing the final lap with a broken steering arm.
Speaking to MotorSportsTalk in Buenos Aires, Andretti revealed that Frijns is a consideration for the team to run in its fourth car at select IndyCar rounds in 2016.
"Right now we’re still a three car team. There are still a couple of irons in the fire for the fourth car,” Andretti explained.
“We also have a couple of irons in the fire for the fourth car for maybe doing certain races, not the whole season. So we’re still trying.”
When pressed if Frijns could make his IndyCar debut, Andretti said: “It’s very possible that he could, one or two races, but we’ll see. It’s possible, yeah."
Frijns was also asked about the chances of him racing for Andretti in IndyCar in the future, and although he said he would "definitely" jump at the opportunity, he asserted: "That’s not a question I have to answer."
