This is such bullshit...it's a mind game....he jumped out of the car in 2 seconds....either he or someone else is playing political games.....he may never drive for Mclaren again.

Jumping to conclusions much?

Clearly you have never played any contact sports or sports where you can suffer serious injury. Adrenaline is a hell of a thing and many times you don't feel pain or soreness till hours after.

Well in many cases people can jump, run and walk even with terrible injuries due to the adrenaline rush after the accident, but i doubt this is the case here and i completely agree with u. I think Mclaren would be really better off without him and they should give a younger driver a chance to drive. Plus - they will have extra 25-30 millions to spare per year. Alonso was and still is a very good driver, but he has a terrible flaw - his personality and his way of work. In 1999 both Zonta and Villeneueve suffered heavy crashes and jet they drove practically next day. So this are definetly some strange games Fernando is playing, or he is delicate as a flower.

What irony would be if in Bahrain (and im only fanaticly wishing - ofcourse :)) Stoffel would score lets say 5th - or atleast points, and Button getting in top 10 as well.

This is weird tbh. He was quick out of the car and afterwards we saw him walking, chatting and smiling with a team member in the paddock. Really don't understand what the reason why he's declared unfit to drive.

rumors are sore ribs / maybe partly broken ribs that don't show up 100% on the scan, but as precaution they refuse to let him start.. maybe it is nothing.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Coulthard once was in a helicopter crash. He was still sore, but he was still racing in Barcelona after that happened. Even got 2nd place in that race. This puts F1 in a bad daylight yet again. Everything is over conservative, over sterialized. MotoGP drivers are laughing at them. They even race with broken bones.

MotoGP is 4 maybe 6 drivers then nothing. And their last deaths were handled pretty uncivilised (dropped off strecher, no red flag etc.)
Yeah, pretty pure and savage.

Thursday's Drivers Press conference will start in less than half an hour featuring Alonso, Grosjean, Verstappen, Massa, Wehrlein and Rosberg. Will be interesting to hear what Alonso has to say about it.

Did anyone else notice there is no 2016 Alonso merchandise in the Mclaren shop? only 2015 which is on sale.
