Fernando Alonso is not feeling well, so he missed the press events at the Mexican Grand Prix and will not lead Aston Martin in FP1 either.
True, the last step was planned and is not due to nausea, in the first free practice the Spanish place would definitely be taken by test driver Felipe Drugovich. Aston Martin did not mention what made Alonso sick, let's hope it is nothing more serious. If everything is in order and the two-time world champion feels better, on Saturday evening European time he could already be on the track for free practice.
We're not worried about the "old guy", he's a great fighter and he wouldn't miss the party for any money where his name will be engraved in a certain stone along with the names of Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher or Lewis Hamilton. And that forever.
