Just four days after a road cycling accident that left Alpine F1 driver Fernando Alonso in hospital, the Spaniard was fired to continue his recovery at home, his team revealed.
The two-time champion – who returns to F1 to compete with Alpine in 2021 – was involved in a road cycling accident in Switzerland on February 11.
It was later revealed that he had undergone surgery for a broken jaw, after which he remained in the hospital for observation.
On Monday, Alpine announced that Alonso was released from the hospital after the 48-hour observation period.
“He will now have a short period of complete rest before gradually resuming training to begin preparations for the start of the season,” said Alpine.
“As always, thank you for your best wishes on Fernando’s recovery,” the team added.
The team said on Friday that Alonso should be in great shape ahead of the new season, while the driver himself said he was “okay and looking forward to starting 2021” on his Twitter feed .
The renamed Renault F1 team will soon launch its 2021 contender – the Alpine A521 – after unveiling a provisional livery in January.
