Fernando Alonso will be missing Thursday’s events at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix as he is undergoing treatment for an intestinal infection that also affected him during the Mexico City Grand Prix. Despite feeling unwell last week, Alonso returned to the track for FP2 and finished the remainder of the race weekend, where he retired early due to a brake issue. His team confirmed the nature of his illness and mentioned that he received specialist treatment in Europe between races. The delay in his travel plans to Brazil is due to the additional day of treatment, but it ensures he will be fit to race this weekend. In case Alonso faces any further health-related setbacks, the team’s reserve driver Felipe Drugovich, who hails from Brazil, is available as a replacement option.
