It’s official: Fernando Alonso, after Thursday successfully the medical examination of the FIA permitted for use in F1. The Spanish rider thus align this weekend at Sepang, the Malaysian Grand Prix. But the hard part is probably coming to a demanding circuit and driving a McLaren off the mark.
This is the issue for Fernando Alonso. The Spanish rider, having passed the required medical examination required by the FIA to allow his return to F1, is authorized to take part in the Malaysian Grand Prix, which takes place this weekend at the Sepang circuit.
Forty-five minutes for a new test that was little doubt to the former Ferrari driver spent the offseason at McLaren. Indeed, Alonso had already responded favorably to batteries of tests performed before leaving for Asia. Last week, he had conducted tests in the simulator located at the headquarters of the British team at Woking. And his very presence in Sepang was enough to certify the perspective of this green light issued by the international body. “ Green light for running “, it is precisely the expression used by the person to relay the good news via his Twitter account. Not to mention in passing thank “ FIA and McLaren F1 for work, professionalism and assistance during this last month. ”
As a reminder, the double champion the world, 33 years old, had been an accident on 22 February, on the Barcelona circuit, during a session of pre-season testing. Many questions surrounded since its prolonged recovery, especially regarding a possible discomfort or failure of his car. Questions which still remain unanswered …
Those that Alonso will choose whether or not to give journalists eager to shed light on the accident, already making its next conference release, which, as any driver, it can not be bypassed, one of the first most anticipated highlights of this weekend in Malaysia.
A race that already ad already as probably one of the biggest challenges of the rich career of Alonso. On a circuit known as one of the most demanding of the season for both machines for the drivers because of high temperatures and high humidity prevailing there. Beyond his only return to competition, the man of Asturias will have to master this context, but also a new car, the MP4-30, with which only Jenson Button was able to reach the finish line during the Grand Opening Price of the season in Melbourne, while conceding two laps to the winner, Lewis Hamilton. It is unclear how McLaren have been able to optimize his machine in the space of just fifteen days. And Alonso, for which a qualification in Q2 would be a victory could especially have to start from the last row on the grid. Unheard of for the Spaniard.
