Fernando Alonso has hit back at claims he believed he was 13 years old when he came round from a concussion following his test crash.
The Spaniard proposed on Twitter that his followers use their imagination to come up with creative places where they had woken up today.
“In a few days the championship starts and we ran out [of] imagination,” he wrote. “I propose a game with RT (re-tweeting) to the most creative. #WhereDidYouWakeUpToday.”
Meanwhile McLaren have also played down the drama surrounding the crash and subsequent conspiracy theories which have sprung up all over the internet.
“It was just a normal concussion [with] a loss of temporary memory,” Boullier told Sky Sports F1. “It’s not as dramatic as you read in the media. Everything is back to normal.”
He also defended Alonso’s decision to follow doctor’s orders to miss the Australian Grand Prix next week.
“He’s very frustrated not to be in the car but he will be connected to us through all the debriefs by video link,” added Boullier. “When you have a concussion, you have to respect a 21-day recovery period. The doctors have given us their advice and a strong recommendation which we are following.”
