FERNANDO ALONSO diterbangkan ke rumah sakit setelah tabrakan yang menimpa mobil baru McLaren pada hari terakhir tes F1 di Barcelona.
Pembalap dari Spanyol ini menabrak dinding di pintu keluar setelah tiga kali mengitari lap dengan sisa durasi latihan 15 menit di sesi pagi, dan ambulan langsung mengangkutnya ke tempat kejadian.
Alonso dibawa ke pusat medis dan dinyatakan 'OK dan sadar', tapi kemudian diangkut ke rumah sakit dengan helikopter. McLaren menyatakan juara dunia dua kali menjalani pemeriksaan awal.
"Hari ini pukul 12.35, saat uji coba di Sirkuit de Catalunya (Barcelona), di hari tes terakhir dari empat hari sesi latihan, mobil Honda-McLaren yang dikemudikan Fernando Alonso meninggalkan trek di Putaran Tiga, mengakibatkan sisi kanan mobilnya menabrak dinding pembatas," pernyataan resmi tim McLaren, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
"Fernando diangkut ke Pusat Medis di mana dokter sirkuit memberinya pertolongan pertama."
"Dia sadar dan berbicara dengan dokter."
"Namun, sesuai standar dan prosedur medis, ia kemudian diterbangkan ke rumah sakit di mana ia menjalani pemeriksaan lebih lanjut."
"Kami akan mengeluarkan informasi lebih lanjut nanti."
Manajer Alonso Luis Garcia Abad nge-tweeted: '(sic) Fernando OK dan sadar. Terima kasih! '
Pembalap usia 33 tahun ini telah menyelesaikan 20 lap sebelum kecelakaan tersebut, dan berada di posisi kelima pada klasemen.
Mantan juara dunia Sebastian Vettel mengatakan kepada wartawan: "Mobilnya tidak berlari terlalu kencang - mungkin hanya 150 km per jam. Kemudian dia berbelok ke kanan ke arah dinding. Itu tampak aneh."
FERNANDO ALONSO has been airlifted to hospital after heavily crashing his new McLaren on the final day of F1 testing in Barcelona.
The Spaniard hit the wall on the exit of turn three with just 15 minutes remaining in the morning session, and an ambulance arrived on the scene.

'Today at 12:35 CET, while testing at the Circuit de Catalunya (Barcelona), during the fourth and final day of the current test, Fernando Alonso's McLaren-Honda car left the track at Turn Three, causing the right-hand side of his car to strike the wall,' a team statement said.
'Fernando was driven to the circuit's Medical Centre where the circuit's doctors gave him first aid.
'He was conscious and spoke with the doctors.
'However, as per usual procedure in such circumstances, he was then airlifted to hospital where he is undergoing precautionary checks.
'We will issue a further update in due course.'
Alonso's manager Luis Garcia Abad Tweeted: '(sic) Fernando is OK and conscious. Thank you !'
The 33-year-old had completed 20 laps prior to the accident, and was fifth in the standings.
McLaren missed the opening hours of the test as Honda configured its engine, and Alonso was only scheduled to drive for the morning before handing over to team-mate Jenson Button.
Former world champion Sebastian Vettel told reporters: 'The speed was slow - maybe 150kph.Then he turned right into the wall. It looked strange.'
