Jean Alesi

Rumor has it that Jean Alesi is going to enter the Indy 500 in a Lotus next year. Supposedly he is going to attend this year as a guest of KV Racing at the 500 and is going to start a training program in preparation for next year.

Alesi (born Giovanni Alesi; June 11, 1964) is an Italian but has a French citizenship. Alesi was born to Sicilian parents in Avignon, Vaucluse. His Formula One career included spells at Tyrrell, Benetton, Sauber, Prost, Jordan and most notably Ferrari where he proved very popular among the tifosi.
