Alonso’s stomach problems continue: he will not be in Brazil on Thursday

The Aston Martin team reports that Fernando Alonso is in Europe to treat an intestinal infection that he has suffered since last week, but this setback will not alter his plans to compete in the Brazilian Grand Prix (Sunday, 6 p.m.).

«Fernando will miss his media day activities in Brazil. Fernando had suffered an intestinal infection in the run-up to the Mexico City Grand Prix. “He returned to receive treatment from a specialist and the extra day of treatment has delayed his travel plans to Brazil, but he assures that he will be ready for the weekend,” Aston Martin said.

That is, Alonso will not participate in the media day, which is held always on thursdays on each race circuit, and will return to activity on Friday in free practice and in sprint race qualifying.

Alonso already had physical problems after the Grand Prix of the Americas, in Austin, according to his team, and was not present at the press conferences at the Mexican Grand Prix on Thursday. He also did not get behind the wheel of Aston on Friday, because the Brazilian Felipe Drugovich had already been scheduled for a long time.
