Yep Alonso's out. Best not to risk a second concussion (so soon) in the McJalopy!

Wow, really?! So the accident was worse than I initially thought. We haven't had such a shunt for some time in winter testing now, so that somebody has to miss early race(s)... I can only remember JJ Lehto back in 1994.
On the bright side... if the McLaren-Honda is a dog, Alonso will save himself some frustration in driving that car. Like struggling in Ferrari in the last few years around P3 or P5 wasn't demoralizing enough. This year looks like could even be worse for him!

Well I hope Alonso hits the ground running when he comes back in Malaysia. If Button starts beating him then the speculation about what's wrong with Fernando will go into overdrive.

Reminds me 2010, when Massa came back after an injury. Or Räikkönen went to back-operation in late 2013 and wasn't the same in 2014...
There are always factors, which distract of a "good" team-mate comparison. Then again... in sports it is always so. Somebody can always argue he wasn't performing at his best. But that's the nature of the game. You can't always be in top form.

Here's the official announcement: http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/insi...edical-update/
Better safe than sorry. I know there's been a lot of development in Rugby about concussion protocol and that if you suffer it then it's a mandatory rest period, no arguments. Better that then risk further injury down the line.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Yes. The medicos better understand concussion today.
But! The entire story still doesn't add up, and continues to reek like bovine excrement.The secret to winning races: More Throttle, Less Brake.

3rd March 2015, 18:47 #30However, Fernando’s doctors have recommended to him that, following the concussion he sustained in a testing accident at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on February 22nd, for the time being he should seek to limit as far as is possible any environmental risk factors that could potentially result in his sustaining another concussion so soon after his previous one, so as to minimise the chances of second impact syndrome, as is normal medical procedure when treating athletes after concussions.
There was an interview with one of the protesters sounded like the situation is a more extreme version of other tourist places where the long time locals get forced out by the increase in costs of...
