Fernando Alonso giving it a go after crash

McLaren’s Alonso is as confident as ever returning to the circuit following his pre-season crash. He will make his season debut over the weekend during the Malaysian Grand Prix in Kuala Lumpur .

The two time world champion, stayed out of the season opener in Melbourne on doctor’s advice. But now the Spaniard has the healer’s clearance, which means that he has fully recovered from the concussion sustained in a crash during tests.

Fernando said that the crash during the tests was caused by a trouble with the steering wheel. He is now ready to put the crash behind him and help his McLaren-Honda team, which did not have a very successful season opener in Melbourne. The McLaren team finished 8^th in Melbourne, whereas Jenson Button finished the race at the 11^th spot.

This time around in Kuala Lumpur, even Jenson Button has hopes of driving an improved engine, although he thinks that the chances of McLaren-Honda jumping ahead of the teams it trails are very slim.
