“Fernando is conscious and good at himself and is waiting for further medical examinations tomorrow morning,” reads the team’s tweet.
The 39-year-old is an avid cyclist returning to the Formula One race this year. The Spaniard’s return comes less than two years after he announced he would leave the sport.
Pre-season tests for the upcoming F1 season will be held in Bahrain from 12 to 14 March before the first race in Bahrain on 28 March.
Alonso was involved in an accident during the Dakar demonstration in Saudi Arabia in January 2020 when his Toyota Hilux was shot into the air after hitting an ominous sand dune. The vehicle rolled twice before coming to a stop. Neither Alonso nor his co-manager, Marc Coma, were injured.
Alonso, a veteran rider, started 314 Grand Prix in his F1 career, with 32 victories and 97 podiums (both his victories and podiums placing him in sixth place on the all-time list) in three teams – Renault , McLaren and Ferrari. – and his return is the first time a manager has had three separate tournaments with a single F1 team (2003-06, 2008-09 and from 2021).
He was world champion in 2005 and 2006.
