Alonso doesn't remember crash - Briatore

BARCELONA, Spain - Flavio Briatore says Fernando Alonso does not remember the crash that has left him in a Barcelona hospital.

McLaren has denied wild conspiracy theories about the cause of the accident that so far has seen its driver spend two nights in hospital recovering from concussion and the effects of his post-crash sedation.

His manager, Luis Garcia Abad, eased the F1 world's gravest fears late on Monday when he published a photo of the 33-year-old smiling and giving a thumbs-up whilst sitting in his hospital bed on social media.
