McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis has admitted that he made a
mistake by denying that Fernando Alonso suffered a concussion following his
testing accident in Barcelona last month.
Speaking at an event in Melbourne prior to this weekend’s
opening Grand Prix of the 2015 season Dennis stated that when he confirmed that
Alonso was completely devoid of any injury that this statement was in fact
untrue.
The Spaniard will sit out this weekend’s Australian Grand
Prix as he recovers from a concussion he sustained following his testing
accident in Barcelona last month.
Dennis revealed that by denying the facts of the case it probably
was not his best performance but he explained that there are a lot of
complexities to concussion. When asked if he expected Alonso to be back racing
for the next Grand Prix in Malaysia, Mr Dennis stated he hoped the Spaniard
would be but conceded that it is Alonso’s call and not his.
McLaren Test and Reserve driver Kevin Magnussen will drive
alongside Jenson Button this weekend.
