Aston Martin F1 star Fernando Alonso has issued an update on how his team helped him get through health issues during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.

One week prior, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll locked out the back row at Spa-Francorchamps, but at the Hungaroring they claimed fifth and sixth on the grid – their best result since they qualified respectively fourth and third at the 2023 Brazilian GP. But this time, they were barely one tenth away from pole position.

Aston Martin says Fernando Alonso has been “medically cleared” to drive ahead of Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix after he missed the first practice session because of a back injury.
