"I'm Fernando Alonso, I race karts and I would like to drive in F1 one day."

That's reportedly what he said when asked who and where he was after the crash. I have no idea if this report is accurate, but if true does not bode well for his career.

Brain injuries are extremely dangerous and unpredictable, obviously we all hope it's not true.. but yes not good.

Ya I've had a concussion before but damn. That's terrible that he lost 20 years.

Scary. There are some seriously weird circumstances around this incident. I hope Fernando fully recovers. I didn't used to be a fan when he was younger, but never doubted his speed. I've since come to respect him greatly as a man and a driver.

This has to be a bad joke right?

RIGHT?

I'm sort of confused. It seems like he has recovered most, if not all of his memories since then right? Or can one still have a "clean bill of health" with 20 years of lost memories?

It's being reported by a couple dozen sites, like I said, I don't know if it's accurate or not...

I think the report was implying that the amnesia was directly after the crash but has since disappeared.

This is honestly the first I'm hearing about it, and you know how obsessed I am in the off season

Luckily you can't trust anything you hear this far along in a story connected to F1. You get long retired drivers giving their opinions and claiming they have some inside source. I have no idea what shock or whatever caused the crash but it sounds like he was ready to race and then decided to listen to the doctors because another random concussion could be bad. Maybe it was very temporary, I was a Marine and I can't remember things from one injury I had, if he did loose some memory it probably came back quickly, rung his bell though.

That's sad.

But also awesome in a way. Imagine if you woke up one day and your wildest dreams and hopes ALREADY CAME TRUE.

it's like "I got some good news, and some bad news. Bad news, you were in a horrible car wreck. Good news, you're a world famous race car driver worth millions of dollars."
