Fernando Alonso prepares to drive McLaren car simulator

Fernando Alonso is to drive the McLaren simulator this week as part of a plan for his return to action.
The double world champion missed the first race of the season in Australia to recover from concussion suffered in a crash in pre-season testing.
"We have a programme to help Fernando back to racing and he plans to be in a simulator," said a McLaren spokesman.
Alonso's programme at McLaren's factory will also include him going through data from the accident with engineers.
The 33-year-old Spaniard, who spent three days in hospital after the crash, is also planning to undertake this week the official FIA medical tests he must pass before being allowed to race.
Alonso in F1
Was the youngest driver to start an F1 race for Minardi in 2001
Last won a race in Spain in May 2013 for Ferrari
Won two titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006
Won four races during his previous season with McLaren in 2007
McLaren have prepared a 38-page report into the crash and have found no evidence of any faults with the car.
Similar to a flight simulator used by pilots, the F1 device reproduces kerbs and bumps as part of its mock-up of driving a specific track.
It is normal practice for drivers to prepare for the next race in a simulator, but the session will also help Alonso answer any questions he might have about whether his senses have fully recovered from the effects of the accident.
Sources close to Alonso say that he has been concerned by the crash, the causes of which so far are unexplained, and especially by the loss of memory he suffered in the immediate aftermath.
