Fernando Alonso is not feeling well, so he missed the press events for the Mexican Grand Prix and will not be driving Aston Martin in FP1.
It is true that the latter step was planned and cannot be attributed to illness, in the first free practice session test driver Felipe Drugovich would have taken the Spaniard's place. Aston Martin did not elaborate on what made Alonso ill, let's hope there is no more serious problem. If everything goes well and the two-time world champion feels better, he will be able to be on the track in the free practice session starting at night on Saturday European time.
We're not worried about the "old man", he's a great fighter, and he wouldn't miss the party for anything, where his name will be engraved in that particular stone alongside Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, or Lewis Hamilton. And forever.
