Fernando Alonso will fly to Malaysia for the grand prix on 29 March
after having tests to establish whether he has recovered from
concussion. The McLaren driver missed the season's first race in Australia on 15 March
after a crash in pre-season testing.
His adviser Luis Garcia Abad refused to confirm reports in Spain that Alonso had got the all-clear after the tests.
"It is private so I cannot confirm or deny it, but I have no doubts he will go to Malaysia as planned," he said.
The Marca and As newspapers said Alonso had been given short and long-term memory and reflex tests in Cambridge.
Alonso had been keen to do the tests before flying to
Malaysia this week, to do everything he could to ensure there would be
no problems with his plans to return to the cockpit.
The tests were conducted by an independent board of
three eminent physicians at Cambridge University, set up by Formula 1's
governing body the FIA as an extra medical panel when required.
Spaniard Alonso, a double world champion, will have
further tests on his arrival at the Sepang track this week, among them a
full assessment of his recovery from concussion and cognitive function,
called an Impact test.
