Ireland's Dunne is an Alpine junior driver and is in a three-way fight for the title in Formula 2, which supports Formula 1 on Grand Prix weekends. The 20-year-old has one win and nine podiums in his second F2 season and is 18 points behind F1-bound leader Rafael Camara – with two more rounds scheduled in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

But with seats in F1 limited for 2027, Dunne tested an IndyCar for Dale Coyne Racing at Barber Motorsports Park on Monday. He has also been linked to a third season in F2 as he chases his Formula 1 dream, but if he wins the championship he cannot return to the series next year. Dunne posted the fastest time in a morning session which included American-born Conor Daly, who is the son of Irish former Formula 1 driver Derek. Dale Coyne Racing have not announced their driver plans for 2027, and American teenager Nikita Johnson tested alongside Dunne on Monday.
