Fernando Alonso looks on course to return at Formula One's Malaysian Grand Prix after passing medical tests on Sunday. The Spaniard faces further examinations by FIA officials on Thursday, but his manager describes these as "formality."
Unfortunately, the short-term outlook is less positive for his team. Still struggling with their problematic new Honda power unit, McLaren are again expected to be way off the pace at Sepang.
Racing director Eric Boullier says he isn't surprised by how far behind the Japanese manufacturer is, given how new the V6 turbo engines and current set of regulations are. He also admitted it could be years before the other suppliers are on a par with Mercedes.
Elsewhere, former driver Olivier Panis has spoken out against artificially equalising the teams, Valtteri Bottas is also aiming to return in Malaysia and it has emerged Mercedes offered a multi-million euro package to try to save the 2015 German Grand Prix.
Sadly for all concerned, it still wasn't enough.
