Seems like nobody bothered to say Alonso fractured a couple of ribs, that don't heal in 2 weeks... Might be ok for the next race.
But it will be great to see Vandoorne in action :)
Only yesterday I said it will be sad not to see him anymore in GP2... I have a lot of respect for Alonso so I did not wish for this ;)

I agree, it's not the way to get a drive but opportunities are scarce and I'm sure he will do Alonso proud.

Yeah, not the way we wanted him to debut, but he sure looks promising, so Im sure he'll do fine! Will be fun to see him race!

Just saw a picture of Vandoorne his MP4-31 with the Belgian flag next to his name, nice...
I hope to see more of that in the not so distant future ;)
Alonso seems to be very supportive to help Vandoorne so a lot of respect for him.
Really looking forward to this race, could be very interesting in many ways.
