Fernando Alonso has received a clean bill of health from the FIA following his unexpected absence from the Hungarian Grand Prix. His withdrawal had sparked concerns about his fitness and led to questions about his future participation in the season. The two-time Formula 1 world champion had been sidelined due to a minor health issue, which his team described as precautionary, raising speculation about the severity of his condition.
Before the Hungarian race weekend, reports indicated that Alonso had been feeling under the weather, prompting the FIA to withhold racing clearance until comprehensive medical tests could be carried out. This decision was made to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the 43-year-old driver and those around him. The move was not seen as disciplinary but rather as part of standard safety protocol.
Following a complete medical review, the FIA has now officially confirmed that Alonso is fit to race again. He has been cleared to return to action at the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. The FIA’s statement reaffirmed their confidence in Alonso’s condition, giving Aston Martin the green light to reinstate him for competition.
In response, Aston Martin released a short update expressing confidence in Alonso’s return. The team stated that he has completed all necessary evaluations and is fully focused on continuing the season. With momentum on their side, the team hopes Alonso’s comeback will bolster their campaign in a highly competitive midfield battle.
Alonso’s absence in Hungary had generated buzz, especially as Aston Martin fights to stay competitive in the Constructors’ Championship. Though reserve driver Felipe Drugovich was prepared to step in, he ultimately didn’t need to race. With Alonso’s return now confirmed, Aston Martin will look to capitalize on his experience and leadership as they approach the latter half of the season.
