**Alonso Cleared to Race in Hungarian GP After Back Injury Scare**
**BUDAPEST, Hungary -** Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso will participate in the second practice session (FP2) of the Hungarian Grand Prix after initially withdrawing from FP1 due to a back injury.
Alonso, 44, has been managing a muscular injury in his back sustained during last weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix. His participation in the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend was put in jeopardy when he was replaced by Aston Martin reserve driver Felipe Drugovich for the first practice session.
However, Aston Martin has confirmed that Alonso has been medically cleared by the FIA and will be back behind the wheel of his AMR25 for FP2.
“Fernando Alonso will be back in the AMR25 for FP2 this afternoon,” the team said in a statement. “He chose to sit out the opening practice session to limit his time in the car as he manages a muscular injury in his back. Having undergone further treatment this morning and medically cleared by the FIA, Fernando will be back in the AMR25 alongside Lance Stroll.”
Drugovich, who stepped in for Alonso in FP1, completed a full program of testing for Aston Martin, gathering data as the team continues to evaluate car updates. He finished the session 16th fastest, while teammate Lance Stroll was 10th.
Alonso currently sits 15th in the drivers’ championship standings with 16 points. His participation in the remainder of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend is expected as scheduled.
