Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso is recovering from a cycling accident in Switzerland, his Alpine F1 team said today.
Alpine said Alonso was involved in a traffic accident but did not give further details.
“Fernando is aware and well in himself and awaits further medical examinations tomorrow morning,” the team said in a statement.
“Alpine F1 Team will not be making any further statements at this time. Further updates will be given tomorrow.”
F1 reporter Andrew Benson reported that Alonso had a broken jaw.
The 39-year-old Spaniard has won 32 F1 races, with 97 podiums.
He returns to F1 this year after retiring at the end of his last season with McLaren in 2018.
Alonso won his two world titles with French manufacturer Renault, renamed Alpine for 2021.
Pre-season testing begins at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on March 12 and the first race will also be held there on March 28.
