But there is still a small chance that the Belgian this weekend anyway, driving in the Grand Prix of China.

It went wrong for Fernando Alonso at the end of this season on the circuit of Melbourne in Australia. The Spaniard rolled his McLaren and ran it broken ribs, which he was not allowed to start in Bahrain. Our zuiderbuur Stoffel Vandoorne should therefore be in Bahrain sit in Alonso’s car, and did that which is not without merit.

But during a medical examination today showed that Alonso be fit enough to take part in the Grand Prix this coming weekend. Stoffel must be his chair, so back to the Spaniard. However, there is still a small chance for the Belgians: after the first free training will get His final consent to the rest of the weekend to drive.

How it goes: the Belgian has, in any case, his business card issued: in the qualifying he drove team-mate Jenson Button out of it, and in the race he achieved a better result than Button, by the tenth end while the Brit went out with technical problems.
