The Spaniard had already been given the green light prior to traveling to Malaysia this week by a panel of FIA-nominated doctors at Cambridge university, but he also had to satisfy FIA medical delegate Jean-Charles Piette on Thursday, as well as Sepang’s resident doctor.
The FIA announced that Alonso duly passed all the “mandatory fitness tests” on Thursday, and McLaren confirmed the news that its star driver is “fit to race”.
