The BBC reports that Fernando Alonso has been given an all-clear on his back after
a precautionary check requested by the FIA had him visit the hospital.

When he came out of the pits last night and had to avoid Vergne, he bounced over the
kerbs. There are alarms in the car that trigger if forces exceed 18G and apparently
he experienced vertical impact forces of 28G.

He was cleared of any wrongdoing in the incident.
