The renewed partnership between McLaren and Honda is progressing, it is not yet plain sailing.

Although the problems for the British renstal mainly related to the technical side of the story, is it now wrong for Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard with the rolling ‘r’ left the Spanish circuit in Barcelona unplanned in turn 3, a long right and pretty quick but tight.

The driver was even so hard, that he with a helicopter is transported to the hospital. Luckily, it was Alonso, however, conscious and able to talk. The crash happened in its 21st round while he was at that time a fifth time had clocked up. McLaren had a difficult morning behind the back, after problems with the engine. Or the crash is due to a defect in the car or a steering error, is at this moment still unknown.

Alonso would only be the morning session for his account, and then Jenson Button in the afternoon the McLaren the rest of the testing would take.

Update: Fortunately, Alonso in the crash no injuries, but about the circumstances of the incident is still nothing known. McLaren has the test session have to break off.

Update 2 (23-02): The Spaniard has his accident was probably only a concussion as a result. The exact cause of the crash (which happened at only 150 km/h) is still a mystery, the likelihood is that Alonso just before the accident, becoming sick. He is still in the intensive care unit for some tests to undergo.
