Fernando Alonso will go to Cambridge University on Sunday for medical tests as part of a three-part process that will determine whether he can return to Formula One in next weekend ’ s Malaysian Grand Prix . The Spaniard missed the opening race of the season in Melbourne last week after suffering concussion in an unexplained testing accident in Barcelona . Although Alonso has since posted Twitter messages declaring himself fit and ready , the FIA have appointed three Cambridge doctors to test him . If he passes these tests , he will travel to Kuala Lumpur for two further sets of analysis . Fernando Alonso will undergo tests at Cambridge University ahead of a potential comeback in Malaysia . One will be carried out by the FIA ’ s medical delegate , Jean-Charles Piette , who will require Alonso to do a 45-minute computer test to assess his reaction times . His score will be compared with his previous results on the same test . The local doctor at the Sepang International Circuit will also examine Alonso . Alonso missed the Australian Grand Prix after a crash in pre-season testing in Barcelona . The belts-and-braces approach shows the concern among the Formula One community about how Alonso , 33 , came to lose control of his McLaren last month . Technical problems have been ruled out by the team , who cited high winds as a cause . The nagging fear remains that Alonso had an underlying medical complaint that meant he lost consciousness before he veered off track – a possibility that needs to be ruled out before he can compete again .
