Fernando Alonso Withdraws from Hungarian GP Session Amid Health Concerns
Two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso has withdrawn from a key session of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, with his team issuing a health-related update that has left fans concerned and sending well wishes from all corners of the racing world.
The Aston Martin driver was notably absent from the second practice session at the Hungaroring, sparking speculation and questions in the paddock. Shortly afterward, the team confirmed that Alonso had been feeling unwell and was advised to step back from the session as a precaution. Though details remain limited, early indications suggest the issue is not serious, but enough to warrant caution ahead of Sunday’s race.
“Fernando wasn’t feeling 100% and, in consultation with our medical team, we decided it was best for him to sit out this session,” a spokesperson from Aston Martin said. “His health and well-being come first. We’re monitoring him closely and will assess his condition ahead of final practice.”
Fans were quick to react on social media, with “Get well soon, Alonso” trending within an hour. Support poured in from fellow drivers as well. Lewis Hamilton, a long-time rival and admirer of Alonso, was seen checking in with members of the Aston Martin team. “We all want to see Fernando back out there. He’s a fighter, no doubt he’ll bounce back,” Hamilton told reporters.
At 44, Alonso remains one of the most experienced and respected drivers on the grid, with a fiercely loyal fanbase and a reputation for resilience. This season has seen its ups and downs for Aston Martin, but Alonso’s consistency and racecraft have kept the team in strong contention in the midfield battle.
The Hungarian Grand Prix holds a special place in Alonso’s career — he claimed his first-ever F1 win at the Hungaroring back in 2003. Missing a session here, especially under health-related circumstances, naturally stirs emotion among fans and adds a layer of uncertainty to the weekend.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Alonso will return for final practice or qualifying. Team principal Mike Krack emphasized that any decision will be made in alignment with medical advice and Alonso’s personal readiness.
“Fernando is in good hands. We’re hopeful,” Krack said. “If he feels fit to race, he’ll be back. But if rest is needed, we’ll support that fully.”
For now, the paddock holds its breath — not for lap times, but for the health of one of the sport’s legends.
