McLaren reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne has stated that his ultimate goal is to be on the Formula One grid for 2017.
Vandoorne is currently competing in Super Formula in Japan, but is hoping that McLaren opt for him for next season. Vandoorne made his F1 début at the Bahrain Grand Prix where he scored McLaren's first points of the season.

"The main goal is to be in F1 next year, that hasn't changed," he said. "I am contracted to McLaren and I want to be with this team next year. I've spent a lot of time with the team and engineers and feel we've been through a perfect preparation."
"This year I see as a preparation year for next year and my main focus is still to get an F1 drive next year," he said. "I will focus on my role as the reserve driver but having a racing programme alongside that is a good benefit to stay race fit and sharp in any case I need to jump in the car."
