Formula One team’s could boycott the upcoming Australian
Grand Prix according to reports in Germany’s Sports Bild newspaper if they are
not given information on the circumstances of McLaren Honda’s Fernando Alonso’s
testing crash during testing last month.
The Spaniard spent three nights in hospital following the
accident on February 22nd. Despite being completely fine the double
world champion will miss the opening race of the 2015 Formula One season next
week under medical advice. His place for the race will be taken by test and
reserve driver Kevin Magnussen.
Sports Bild have reported that the teams are worried that
the speculation that Alonso may have been rendered unconscious following an
electric shock from the hybrid technology in the car may be true.
Former team owner and boss Giancarlo Minardi believes that
the silence following Alonso’s accident does not help the situation and he
believes that for the good of the sport the information from the investigation
into Alonso’s accident cannot remain classified.
