Alpine factory driver Ferdinand Habsburg suffered two fractured vertebrae in a crash while testing the team’s A424 Hypercar at Motorland Aragon. His participation in Round 2 of the FIA WEC season at Imola is now uncertain. Habsburg was taken to the hospital in Alcañiz for examinations and later repatriated to Austria for further tests. Despite the fractures, there is no neurological impact on him, but the duration of his recovery is yet to be determined. Alpine fully supports Habsburg and hopes for his swift recovery, with Jules Gounon potentially stepping in if needed. Alongside FIA WEC, Habsburg also competes in ELMS with COOL Racing, set to race in the 4 Hours of Barcelona before the WEC round at Imola.
