Fernando Alonso Delays Arrival at Brazilian Grand Prix Due to Illness

The F1 driver returned to Europe for treatment of an intestinal infection but will be ready to race this weekend.

Alonso, a two-time F1 champion, fell ill before the Mexico City Grand Prix and sought specialist treatment in Europe.
His delayed travel to Brazil means he will miss Thursday's media activities for the second consecutive race weekend.
Despite the delay, Alonso is expected to compete in both the sprint and main race at Interlagos this weekend.
The illness follows Alonso's milestone of participating in his 400th Grand Prix last weekend in Mexico.
Aston Martin has confirmed that Alonso is ninth in the drivers' standings with 62 points, with no immediate threats to his position.
