The health of Fernando Alonso has been a topic of concern recently, as the Aston Martin Formula 1 team issued an official statement regarding his condition before the Brazilian Grand Prix. Alonso was notably absent from media duties at the Mexican Grand Prix due to illness, although he was able to participate in practice sessions, qualifying, and the race itself.
During the Mexican Grand Prix, Alonso was forced to retire early from the race due to a brake issue, marking a disappointing turn of events for the two-time F1 champion. Despite this setback, Alonso made history by becoming the first driver to participate in their 400th grand prix weekend.
In light of his health issues, it was revealed that Alonso had been dealing with an intestinal infection leading up to the Mexico City Grand Prix. As a result, he returned to Europe for further treatment from a specialist, causing a delay in his travel plans to Brazil. The team confirmed that Alonso would miss his media day activities in Brazil but assured fans that he would be ready for the upcoming race weekend.
Currently, Alonso is sitting in ninth place in the drivers’ standings, with a 38-point lead over his teammate Lance Stroll. Aston Martin is also in fifth place in the constructors’ standings, with Haas trailing closely behind. With only four races left in the season, the competition is heating up as teams vie for position in the overall standings.
Despite the challenges he has faced due to his health, Alonso remains determined to make a strong comeback at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his performance on the track as he looks to overcome his recent setbacks and secure a strong finish in the remaining races of the season. Stay tuned for more updates on Fernando Alonso’s health and performance in the world of Formula 1.
