Formula One: Alonso Leaves Hospital Following Crash
Two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso has left hospital following a crash during testing in Barcelona last weekend, his McLaren team announced on Wednesday.
"We are pleased to confirm that Fernando Alonso has now left hospital. He has returned to his family's home in Spain for further rest and recuperation," McLaren said in a statement.
"As a result, he will sit out this week's final winter test, at which he was due to share driving duties with Jenson Button.
"Kevin Magnussen, McLaren-Honda's test and reserve driver, will replace him."
The 33-year-old Spaniard Alonso suffered concussion when he crashed into a wall 20 laps into testing at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday and was airlifted to hospital under sedation.
