So, no one publicly really knows for sure why Alonso crashed yesterday at the Barcelona test.
However, the rumours I'm hearing, that I cannot confirm, are that he got an electric shock (ERS related?) from the car, while driving it, that made him pass out! If true then this would explain the strange nature of how he left the track, the lack of official explanation and also why they didn't let Button carry on testing it. Basically that is pretty worrying! Alonso is still in hospital...
So, not been good for McHonda so far which is a shame as I'm sure if it worked it would be quick.
Mercedes are looking pretty dominant at the moment - they've had some incredibly good lap times on the harder compound rubbers at a cold track.
