Jimmie Johnson to test the DW12 – McLaren SP

Legend of the Nascar, with seven titles acquired in the premier category of the American series, Jimmie Johnson will swap the closed “cocoon” of his Chevrolet Camaro – Hendrick Motorsports, for the cockpit equipped with the Aeroscreen of the team’s DW12-Chevrolet McLaren SP next month at Barber Motorsports Park.

A test confirmed by the American, posting a message on his Twitter account in recent hours.

Johnson had already been able to collaborate with McLaren in recent years, swapping his seat at the end of 2018 with Fernando Alonso, thus slipping into the MP4-28 of 2013.
