Fernando Alonso will take part in FP2 for Formula 1’s Hungarian Grand Prix after sitting out FP1 on medical grounds.
The Spaniard skipped the first session at the Hungaroring to limit time in the AMR25 due to a muscular issue in his bac, with reserve driver Felipe Drugovich taking his place.
However, the two-time World Champion has, according to the Silverstone-based squad, received further treatment and will be back in the car for FP2.
Aston’s Trackside Officer Mike Krack said previously that he was confident of Alonso’s swift return, saying that “plan is to have Fernando in the car from FP2 onwards.”
The Brazilian, who recently completed a successful Formula E cameo for Mahindra Racing, was 16 out of the 20 runners, clocking a personal best time of 1:17.629s.
Alonso’s team-mate Lance Stroll was 10th fastest, his 1:16.984s being within a tenth of first-placed Lando Norris.
The team has brought two new updates to the race weekend, with a new, “more aggressive” front wing flap, which is described in the notes as “more aggressive,” supposedly to increase “the total amount of load the wing can generate to be used with the higher downforce rear wing that will be used at this event.”
