If he’s broken anything (sounds likely) then he’s out. Time for a super sub to step in. Get Hulk on the hotline..!
Such a bad luck. At the same time the drivers should have known the risk. I hope he will get well soon. But I'm afraid he won't be there at the first race(s). Time for Magnussen? I'm not his fan, but I think he is more suitable than Hulkenberg
Magnussen stated only recently that he wouldn't be interested in a reserve role at Haas. That also means one-off drive offers, I suspect.
The BBC is reporting jaw fracture, but is not reporting anything else. I hope he gets ready for the first tests.
Alonso's proverbial bad luck, but it could have been worse: according to la Gazetta, a broken tooth and little more, he should be recovered for pre season testing. Hope they're right.
Yes seems the broken jaw is not true according to ''close sources''. If so very lucky...first link I saw this morning said multiple broken bones!
Not that it really matters but from description here, sounds like Alonso hit the car. https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/155003/alonso-undergoes-surgery-for-jaw-fracture
From the description Fernando was passing a stationary line of vehicles on the right side, the motorist made a left turn into a parking lot and probably couldn't see him.
