“Following his testing accident at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya last Sunday, we are pleased to confirm that Fernando Alonso has now left hospital. He has returned to his family’s home in Spain for further rest and recuperation,” McLaren said in a statement.
“As a result, he will sit out this week’s final winter test, at which he was due to share driving duties with Jenson Button.
“Kevin Magnussen, McLaren-Honda’s test and reserve driver, will replace him.”
