Alonso: why remains in hospital
Fernando Alonso wants to go home, but doctors Hospital General de Catalunya in Barcellon are not willing to release him as long as they feel pain. The Spaniard still accuses headaches and severe pain in the shoulders and back, even if the diagnostic tests did not reveal any particular pathologies.
The Asturian is hospitalized in a private hospital and Catalan is not, therefore, in intensive care where cell phone use is rightly banned so it will not interfere with the machines that keep alive the other patients. Can receive visits: at his side over to the parents alternate also the preparer, Fabrizio Borra, and the manager, José Luis García Abad that afternoon said: "I can not say if it will take a day, two or three of hospitalization. his presence in the next session? The most important tests at the time is the evidence that doctors are doing. "
The side impact of his McLaren MP4-30 Honda has had a heavier than it might seem to those who saw the car after the accident occurred Sunday at 12.36 at the exit of Turn 3 of the fearsome track of Montmelo, while Spanish was later exposed by Sebastian Vettel with Ferrari SF15-T.
The Woking team, after a reconstruction of the facts, has blamed the crash to a gust of wind: an excuse beautiful and good that, for a change, leads to blame the pilot, according to a well established fashion in Formula 1 . The Spanish champion, hardly accept this theory, and McLaren has certainly chosen the best way to start a relationship with the Iberian.
We were at the racetrack and we can testify that in the morning there were sudden icy gusts that reached 45 km / h (we have witnessed in a piece before the bang of Fernando) with frequent changes of direction, but after noon there was a sharp decrease in the intensity of the gusts.
Putting together the details that are emerging from the statements made by the same Fernando to friends, it is clear that the two-time world champion would have impacted the wall sideways, first with the right rear (the circle is damaged, causing even a slight loss of pressure of the rubber) and then with the right front.
The MP4-30, then, according to the account of the McLaren, would not have reported significant damage from (the suspension arms are not broken). And just this eventuality is that should give pause: the cars are provided deformable areas to reduce the effects of kinetic energy on the body of the pilot.
In this case, however, there was minimal absorption so that the 'impact, even at slow speed, it is transferred for the most part on Fernando Alonso. Studies on the crash are made specifically for frontal impacts. The Hans collar reduces the effects of whiplash and should prevent the driver's head is pushed away in a direction that tends to "tear" from the rest of the body, as the conductor is securely fastened to the seat with the seat belts to six points .
It works perfectly in the front impact, while it may not be as effective in side crashes. And it is the case of Fernando who suffered trauma inertial angle: according to the neurosurgeon that we felt the Spaniard should have suffered a pulled neck side due to the weight of the head and the helmet that may have led to the slight was commotio brain.
The elongation of the neck, also, may have caused a resentment of the vagus nerve, causing the sensation of vomiting and the effect of a sort of "shock" to the spine (nothing to do with hybrid systems or batteries, mind you!).
The conditions of Alonso, then, judging by the doctor are compatible with the incident that the McLaren driver suffered Sunday in Barcelona. The crash of the McLaren highlights a weakness of the current car: side protection of the head are not enough to curb even the impacts of smaller (although the safety sensor FIA came on in the cockpit, a sign that the telemetry machine has detected an energy greater than 15G).
In short, it was essential that there was an electrical ERS to electrocute Alonso, as many continue to argue, without being able to bring a shred of concrete evidence. If so, the FIA would be irresponsible to run the cars in the last session of collective testing which will begin precisely in Barcelona Thursday: we should stop everything as long as you do not have precise answers.
In the images of the incident published by Brand has clearly noticed the green LED below the camera: when there is a potential leakage current (also electro-static), the LED is red or orange, and no one can touch the car without being equipped special insulating gloves.
We believe the McLaren when he argues that there was no electric discharge over Alonso, but we do not support the theory of the Rafale as the cause of the accident.
And if we were Jenson Button, who will be back on track in a couple of days with the MP4-30 precise assurances we would not go off track if ever there should be any gust during the last session of collective testing ...

F1 | Accident Alonso: Vidal denies McLaren
February 24, 2015 - Despite the press McLaren and the reassuring words of 'entourage of Alonso, the contours of the incident dell'asturiano are still very uncertain. This morning, Jordi Vidal, the photographer who took the only pictures of the event and witnessed the incident, denied the reconstruction made by Mclaren.
After the words of the manager and Woking, Flavio Briatore (who had already expressed a tweet Sunday night) has spoken about what happened in Spain, reassuring on the conditions of Alonso: "It was just an accident. From the telemetry we see that was trying to keep the car on the track, "said the microphones of Rai Gr Parliament. "It is the second serious accident he had in his career, the first was in 2004 in Sao Paulo, when the impact was very hard," he added, recalling the incident in the final stages of the Brazilian GP 2003 (not 2004) when the Renault center debris left by Jaguar's Webber then ending violently wall. "The important thing is that medical tests are all negative. He does not remember the incident, but it is normal. I think tomorrow (today, ed) will come out. " The former Renault team principal also wanted to refute the many voices on the technical problems of the car: "I do not understand these stories, it was a normal accident. Unfortunately these things happen, even with a driver like Fernando, because G forces are tremendous. Other times the incident is much more spectacular and you do not do anything. "
o, just a set of unfortunate incidents: Alonso goes on synthetic grass, loses grip, the strong wind pushes him to the wall, and the impact that requires two days of hospital. But the dynamics of the incident, released yesterday by the press team, something does not. Either because Vettel had not made mention of any error and immediately talked of low speed maneuvering and strange, and because Jordi Vidal, today, via Twitter , reiterated his version that contradicts that of Mclaren: "Seeing that there are controversies about the incident Alonso, I tell you what I saw. I do not want controversy. I started taking pictures at Turn 1, down the straight, with the sun behind and a lot of wind, which bothered much, same thing in Turn 2. I went to the outside of the track and I stopped at the Turn 3, where I had the sun in my face and there was no wind. I stopped there for a moment to take pictures, that's why I took the time. I'm looking at the sequence of photos, including two where Alonso is on track. "
" Do not touch the green zone (the outside of the track, ed) with no wheel, the car does not have anything strange, the only thing I saw that was slower. Vettel was right behind him, in the sequence than when Alonso this is close to the wall, and went to a speed much higher than that of Fernando. And in the sequence known that neither the first nor the second braking are of Alonso. Again, I'm no expert. The impact does not seem to have been strong , but then again I'm not an expert, I am a humble worker with the hobby of photography. The last thing I say is that McLaren has called me to the pits with the chief of engineers to show him the photos, nothing more. And again, I'm just telling you what I saw. "
