The Aston Martin F1 team have been hit with a major setback regarding driver Fernando Alonso ahead of the commencement of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.
The Silverstone outfit have announced that the 44-year-old has suffered an injury to his back that will see him miss the first free practice session for the Budapest event.
In a statement announced by the team, it stated:
“In the days following the Belgian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso has been managing a muscular injury in his back."
"As he continues with treatment this morning, he has chosen to sit out of FP1. Felipe Drugovich will drive in FP1 alongside Lance Stroll. A decision will then be made on Fernando’s participation in FP2 and the remainder of the weekend in due course.”
