Sounds like Alonso doesn't want to drive a dog of a car at the first race of the season.

its going to be a shame not being able to see Jenson and Alonso head to head in the first race to see who really has the pace in the McLaren.

What happens if Magnussen has the pace in McLaren? He did in Australia last year.

Do you think Ron had a hand in the statement McLaren released:
"....doctors have informed him that they find him asymptomatic of any medical issue..."

I'm betting a back marker car has brake issues and clobbers his car on lap 1!

In other words they know the car had about a 50/50 of finishing, even less of a chance of finishing in the points so despite the fact he is currently fine and able the risk of a second impact actually causing injury isn't worth it.
