Alonso's Hungary future revealed: Will he see out the Hungarian GP weekend

Fernando Alonso was suffering from an old back injury and was thus unable to make FP1 at the Hungarian Grand Prix. After running in FP2 Aston Martin have provided an update on the Spaniard's condition.

For Alonso to have decided not to run and give his drive in FP1 over to Aston Martin reserve Felipe Drugovich, the problem must have been a serious one.

Aston Martin and Alonso face Hungarian GP setback head on

Whilst his participation in FP2 was ensured by Chief Trackside Officer Mike Krack, the way he felt during FP2 was important to assess how the rest of the weekend would unfold.

Following the FP2 session GPblog understands that the double world champion felt alright in the AMR25.

This means that Alonso can probably be seen driving the British green racing coloured car for the remainder of the weekend.

In fact, the Spaniard was able to see the chequered flag in P5 behind teammate Lance Stroll, which indicates a strong outing may very well be in the cards for Aston Martin.
