LONDON, England - Fernando Alonso has stepped up his preparations to return to action in Malaysia in time for the March 29 Malaysian Formula 1 weekend.
McLaren-Honda confirmed reports that the Spaniard was at Woking (England, team HQ) and on Wednesday (March 18) would be at the wheel of the team's sophisticated driving simulator where a spokesperson said: "We have a programme to help Fernando back to racing."
There have been rumours that the 33-year-old was nervous about returning to the cockpit of the MP4-30 after his still unexplained crash during a track test in Spain.
