(Reuters) - Fernando Alonso survived his first Brickyard "Happy Hour" on Tuesday, the twice Formula One world champion getting a taste of what he can expect when he lines up for the Indianapolis 500 later this month.
The practise session was just the third at the famous oval for Alonso, who will miss the next stop on the F1 calendar, the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, to race the Indy 500 in a bid to claim the second jewel in motor racing's Triple Crown -- victories at the Monaco Grand Prix, Indianapolis 500 and Le Mans.
