Vettel filmed Alonso's accident

Rumors and speculation that Fernando Alonso was unconscious even before his race car collided with a concrete wall at tests in Barcelona are getting louder.

Adding fuel to the fire was a report by the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport that the Spaniard's accident was filmed by a Ferrari race car driven by Sebastian Vettel after the two-time champion. It is clear from the footage that the McLaren Honde car suddenly slowed down sharply and then drove inexplicably into a concrete wall along the track.

Former FIA official and commissioner Joaquin Verdegay told the Spanish AS: “It would be easier to believe if we were told that Alonso has lost consciousness or that he has simply been poisoned by food, which can happen to anyone. But something definitely happened. The loss of consciousness caused an accident and was not the result. ”
