The, well, accident of Fernando Alonso at the Formula 1 testing in Barcelona raises questions. Not only eyewitness Sebastian Vettel surprised. The racing team McLaren did not specify the causes which leaves room for a lot of speculation.
Fernando Alonso spent the night in the hospital, after all, that’s for sure. Because of a concussion, the Spaniard remains under observation, “a normal practice,” Eric Boullier said. However, reasons for the mysterious accident in testing the Formula 1 in Barcelona the McLaren race director remained silent – and so opened the wildest theories floodgates
A wave of dizziness, electric shock or toxic fumes -. The trade press outdid themselves with explanations for why the two-time world champion crashed into a boundary wall. McLaren himself took on Sunday to put it mildly little to bring some light into the darkness. “It was just a normal testing accident,” said Boullier. Not only eyewitness Sebastian Vettel (“Looked nothing like an accident off”), who had been behind Alonso in the Ferrari on the road, had his doubts. Throughout the day, there were growing suspicions that the normal crash was probably not so normal.
“Alonso was before the accident, not bad”
Freak slowly to have been traveling in the fast curve 3 Alonso. With close to 150 instead of the standard 230 kilometers per hour. Allegedly swerved the car before he struck at 12.35 clock on the inside. This fact alone is more than strange. Prompt came on speculation, Alonso had lost consciousness and thus the control of his car in the McLaren-Honda. And so quickly as by an electric shock, the speech also toxic gasoline or battery fumes could have knocked Alonso. So far, this is all just theory, evidence or evidence does not exist for it. As long as this continues, will probably continue to speculate.
More about“Alonso was before the accident, not bad,” said Luis Garcia Abad, manager of the pilots in the Spanish sports daily “Marca” clear. Rather, a “strong gust of wind” the MP4-30 of the slopes have pressed. And already, the next theory to the mysterious incident in the “Curva Renault” in the world. Immediately after the crash, according to McLaren Alonso was conscious. According to a study in the Medical Center, the 33-year-old from Oviedo was flown by helicopter to the hospital and checked by computer tomography. Now follow further testing. When Alonso may leave the hospital, is open. It is quite possible that the 32-time Grand Prix winner must stay another night. McLaren initially gave no further comment.
Three weeks before the season opener in Melbourne / Australia on March 15 puts the team in trouble. Alonso should have really only suffered a concussion, he should be fit again in time. The crash cost the team but half a day of testing, former world champion Jenson Button could not get into the cockpit as planned in the afternoon. The car was not serious damage, but it is still hard enough. Due to problems with a seal on energy recovery system McLaren has brought in the four days of Barcelona all 124 laps of testing materialize. “It was a tough week for the whole team,” Boullier said. It has a particularly difficult getting caught. The question remains why.
