Fernando Alonso’s Formula 1 career is in doubt, as investigators still try to figure out what caused his crash two weeks ago.

The Spaniard's McLaren hit the wall in the second pre-season test in Barcelona, and he spent three nights in hospital after falling unconscious.

Alonso has been ruled out of the Australian Grand Prix but he insists that he will return for the next race in Malaysia.

However, it is still unclear what happened which means that it is not guaranteed he will return at all.

A McLaren team source told the Daily Mail: “We don’t really know what is wrong with Fernando. He may be back, or he may never be back.

“We hope he is, but it would not be fair to the rest of the grid if he returned too soon and caused an accident at 200mph.”

It is uncertain whether Alonso’s injuries were sustained during the accident, or that he lost consciousness prior to the crash.

Alonso will be replaced in Australia by reserve driver Kevin Magnussen.
