Fernando Alonso was injured in China

      Fernando Alonso was the only one who did not make it to the finish line of the Chinese Grand Prix – the Aston Martin racer got off due to brake failure. After the finish, Alonso said that he had been playing with an injury all weekend.

      Fernando Alonso: "I'm fine. I had to use a neck protector because I had a pinched nerve or something the last few days. In the end, I didn't need protection because I hadn't done many laps.

      I'm having problems with the brakes. From the first lap to the exit, the rear brakes were overheating heavily. I braked before the first turn, and the pedal just hit the floor without braking. Fortunately, it's a long turn, and I was able to slow down by braking the engine. If the brakes had failed before the fourteenth turn, I would have knocked out five or six cars. In a way, it was lucky that there was no incident.

      Now we need to find out the reason for what happened before the next episode. I hope we can reverse the trend in Japan, and I'll see the checkered flag for the first time this year."
