Alonso leaves hospital but skips Barcelona test
McLaren Honda have confirmed in a statement today that their driver Fernando Alonso has left the hospital but will not be driving at the final pre-season test at Barcelona, set to start tomorrow.
"Following his testing accident at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya last Sunday, 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", the statement reads.
"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."
"Jenson will be testing the McLaren-Honda car tomorrow (February 26), and the team will confirm the full day-to-day running order in due course."
