两届F1世界冠军费尔南多·阿隆索欢迎IndyCar于2027年在巴塞罗那办赛的决定，但他警告该美国系列赛不要在国际上过度扩张。
IndyCar于周五宣布，北美首屈一指的开轮式锦标赛将于2027年7月16日至18日前往西班牙，在巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚赛道举行首届IndyCar巴塞罗那大奖赛。这项多年协议在发布会上被称为为期10年的协议，标志着该系列赛自2007年以来首次在欧洲办赛，也是自2013年以来首次在北美以外举行比赛。作为2027年赛历第二阶段的核心赛事，它也让巴塞罗那本地人、五届IndyCar冠军亚历克斯·帕劳迎来主场之战。
在周末于美洲赛道举行的F1分站赛前，这位45岁的阿斯顿·马丁车手、曾两次参加印第安纳波利斯500大赛的车手赞扬了该设施在西班牙赛车运动中的作用。
“我认为这会很好。显然，这对我们的国家和巴塞罗那来说是一场历史性的赛事，”阿隆索说。“这就是拥有永久性赛道的优势。你有机会在一年中的任何一天进行测试。但也能在这里和那里举办比赛。他们上周举办了国际汽联世界耐力锦标赛比赛。现在印第，他们举办MotoGP。这就是为什么当我们比较街道赛道和正常的传统赛道时。这是最大的优势。”
阿隆索强调了巴塞罗那-加泰罗尼亚赛道作为永久性设施支持多个领域车手发展的作用。
“这就是为什么巴塞罗那对西班牙的赛车运动至关重要，”阿隆索说。“没有巴塞罗那我们无法生存。对于年轻组别，对于第一次测试赛车的人来说。Freca、三级方程式、Moto3。你必须有一个可以去的赛道。有了这个印地赛车，这是我们多么幸运的又一个例子。”
不过，当被问及这一举措是否代表印地赛车（IndyCar）迈向全球增长的一个明智步骤时，阿隆索指出了与一级方程式（F1）全球旅行相关的成本。
“有可能。印地赛车非常针对美国市场，”阿隆索说。“在F1中，对车手和车队来说，更受惩罚的事情之一。而且当你环游世界时，成本会变得非常高。所以它有一些好处，也有一些缺点。
“我认为他们需要以某种方式留在美国。并举办一两场比赛。但我不认为他们会继续去其他地方。”

Fernando Alonso backs IndyCar Barcelona race but warns against wider global expansion
The two-time F1 champion says permanent circuits are crucial to Spanish motorsport but cautions that international travel would significantly raise IndyCar’s costs
Two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso has welcomed IndyCar’s decision to race in Barcelona in 2027, though he warns the American series against overextending itself internationally.
IndyCar announced Friday that North America’s premier open-wheel championship will head to Spain July 16-18, 2027, for the inaugural IndyCar Grand Prix of Barcelona at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The multiyear deal, described during the press conference as a 10-year agreement, marks the series' first European race since 2007 and its first event outside North America since 2013. Serving as the centerpiece of Phase Two of the 2027 schedule, it also gives Barcelona native and five-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou a home race.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s F1 round at Circuit of The Americas, the 45-year-old Aston Martin driver and two-time Indianapolis 500 starter praised the facility's role in Spanish motorsport.
"I think it's going to be good. Obviously a historic event for our country and Barcelona," Alonso said. "That's the benefit of having a permanent circuit. That you have that opportunity to test any day in the year. But also to host races here and there. They did the WEC (FIA World Endurance Championship) race last week. Now Indy, they do MotoGP. That's why when we compare street circuits to the normal conventional circuits. That's the biggest advantage."
Alonso highlighted the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya's role as a permanent facility supporting driver development across multiple disciplines.
"That's why Barcelona is crucial for the motorsport in Spain," Alonso said. "We cannot survive without Barcelona. For the younger categories, for the people that go testing their cars for the first time. Freca, Formula 3, Moto3. You have to have a circuit that you can go there. With this IndyCar is another example of how lucky we are."
However, when asked if this move represents a smart step toward global growth for IndyCar, Alonso pointed to the costs associated with Formula 1’s global travel.
"Could be. IndyCar is very specific to the US market," Alonso said. "One of the things that is more penalizing in F1 for the drivers and for the teams. And the cost they go very high when you travel around the world. So it has some benefits and some downsides.
"I think they need to keep it somehow in the US. And have one or two races. But I don't think they will keep going elsewhere."
