Fernando Alonso has received clearance from the FIA to participate in the rest of the Chinese Grand Prix weekend.
A heavy crash at the Australian Grand Prix saw Alonso suffer cracked ribs and a collapsed lung, with the Spaniard being ruled out of the second race in Bahrain as a result of the injuries. In China the FIA "provisionally" cleared him to take part in FP1 before further tests after the session.
Alonso finished FP1 in 12th place and then visited the FIA medical centre where he was cleared to participate in the rest of the race weekend.
"As a result of a medical examination undertaken following Free Practice One, the FIA F1 Medical Delegate, Prof. Jean-Charles Piette, and the Chief Medical Officer of the Chinese Grand Prix, Prof. Shiyi Chen, have ruled that Fernando Alonso is fit to take part in all remaining sessions this weekend," an FIA statement read.
"However, as with this morning's session, in case of any abnormal symptoms the driver has been informed that he must stop his car immediately.
"As the driver has been cleared to take part, no further medical checks will be undertaken unless the driver presents any abnormal symptom."
