The fat made many people worry, but the alarm was false.

      Mika Salo made fans worry when he shared on social media a photo taken in a hospital room in Thailand. He also posted a video of an ambulance with a flashing light at the entrance to the hospital.

      According to his previous posts, it was clear that the former Formula 1 racer and his wife are currently vacationing in Pattaya, a resort town in the south of the country.

      Finnish journalists were alarmed, but when they got through to Mika, it turned out that the alarm was false.

      "I went to the hospital to get a cardiogram for the tattoo my wife is going to get," he explained cheerfully. "Annika wanted a tattoo depicting the rhythm of my heartbeat, that's all."

      After that, Mika Salo even posted an explanation that he had been misunderstood, but added that he had received "thousands of messages" from various people who were worried about his health.
