Alonso making 鈥榮olid recovery鈥
Print Edition
MCLAREN driver Fernando Alonso is making a “solid recovery” after being concussed following a crash in Formula One testing and is staying in hospital for further observation.
The Spanish driver escaped serious injury, but was airlifted by helicopter to the hospital for precautionary checks after his McLaren collided with a wall at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit on Sunday.
McLaren said Alonso is chatting to family, friends and hospital staff as he recovers “from the effects of the medication that successfully managed his routine sedation.”
“In hospital, a thorough and complete analysis of his condition was performed, involving CT scans and MRI scans, all of which were completely normal,” McLaren said.
After assessing the damage to Alonso’s car, McLaren said his crash was caused by “unpredictably gusty winds at that part of the circuit at that time, and which had affected other drivers similarly.”
McLaren said it found no evidence of mechanical failure on the car and dismissed rumors that Alonso lost consciousness at the time of the crash because of an electrical discharge in the ERS system.
“Our data clearly shows that he was downshifting while applying full brake pressure right up to the moment of the first impact, something that clearly would not have been possible had he been unconscious at the time,” McLaren said.
Alonso’s accident came after a difficult preseason for McLaren in its switch to Honda engines.
