Alonso Accident

[truefan72]

Hmm. Just came over the waiver wire on Eurosport.
Hope he is ok.

Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is conscious and awaiting medical tests after being involved in a road accident while cycling in Switzerland, his Alpine team said in a statement on Thursday.

The 39-year-old double world champion is due to make his Formula One comeback this season after two years out of the sport.

I hope he is alright. That is how the MotoGP champion Nick Hayden got killed a few years ago. Just cycling and minding his business.

Different media outlets are reporting multiple fractures including a rumor of broken jaw.

Looks like it was only his jaw broken and is not expected to miss the season.

Fernando Alonso who beat Michael Schumacher to these two titles, put Michael Schumacher under so much pressure, that gave us the gift of the ‘infamous’ La Rascasse incident!


Massa: Schumacher’s Rascasse ‘error’ inspired by Brawn
by Thomas Maher
16th September 2020

In Sky’s new documentary The Race to Perfection, Felipe Massa has talked about the incident. Then teammate with Michael at Ferrari, Felipe said Schumacher had acted on the seed of an idea planted by then Technical Director Ross Brawn.
“We had a meeting with the team, we talked about qualifying.” said Massa. “We had two sets of tyres for Q3 and Michael said something like: ‘If we are faster now and then we wait for the second set …’.”
“Ross said: ‘Maybe we can provoke a yellow flag?’ At that point, I said, ‘For fun? Not seriously, for fun right? ‘ But it happened exactly that way. Michael used that funny idea in his favour.”
Brawn had intended the comment as a throwaway, hypothetical remark, and he explained that Schumacher had just taken it too far – like he had done on other occasions in his career, such as Adelaide ’94 or Jerez ’97.
