Alguersuari explains London ePrix absence

Virgin Racing driver Jaime Alguersuari has explained on his facebook page the reason why he is missing the London ePrix this weekend, where his seat will be given to Fabio Leimer.

The Spaniard has confirmed that after dehydration in Moscow he fainted, and while he is having medical tests his racing licence has been suspended.

The statement said, “On June 6th, after the Moscow ePrix I suffered a faint as a result of dehydration and extreme exhaustion during the race.

As a consecuence of this faint I had some medical tests done, with succesful results, and at the moment my license is temporarily suspended until the FIA makes sure that I’m fully able to carry on with my sporting career.

My health is safe and I’m in shape, and I’m absolutely convinced I can compete this weekend, but for security reasons we need to delve into medical research. For this reason, together with Virgin Racing, the FIA and the doctors we’ve decided not to take part in the London ePrix this weekend.

It’s a shame because it will be the last ePrix of the season and I wanted to race in front of our fans, but we must be respectful with the FIA’s procedures.

I want to wish all the luck to my team Virgin Racing in the last ePrix of the 2014/15 Formula E season.”
