Closing the knowledge gap on concussion
Concussion remains an area of sporting injury in which medical research and practice are still playing catch-up, but work is ongoing to change that
When Fernando Alonso crashed his McLaren MP4-30 into the Barcelona circuit's Turn 3 wall during pre-season testing in 2015, it sent certain media circles into a frenzy of speculation over the possible cause.
McLaren stringently denied that the impact - which registered 30G at its peak - was the result of a car failure as its new star signing Alonso, lured from Ferrari by the prospect of McLaren-Honda domination, was transported to hospital with concussion-like symptoms after briefly losing consciousness.
