Fernando Alonso

will not be present on Tuesday at the virtual presentation of the 2021 season of

Alpine F1

(ex Renault), said the French team this Friday, two weeks after the accident suffered by the Spanish driver while riding a bicycle in Switzerland.

The Asturian, who returns to Formula 1 this year after two seasons of absence, wants to concentrate on "the essential preparation of the season", which is why he will not be in the appearance before the press.

Alpine F1 also alluded to the current health crisis due to the pandemic and the restrictions in force.

The

39-year-old

Spaniard had an

upper jaw operation 15 days ago.

He spent 48 hours in hospital observation after his surgical intervention.

The team had reassured about his state of health and continues to affirm that Alonso

will be present at the preseason tests in Bahrain from March 12 to 14

with his French teammate Esteban Ocon.
