...because according to Ron, "Fernando was cognitively inoperative and unresponsive to external stimuli for the periodic time between the unexpected MP-30 / wall interaction and the point at which he re-booted 'a short while' afterwards".
Why on earth can't Ron speak normally instead of 'Ronspeak"? I mean, who is he trying to impress? Is he training to be a politician?Martin Whitmarsh was far less up his own bum in this regard.

If true, So what? Wouldn't that be a good reason to take him to hospital and keep him under observation for a couple of days? Where's the big mystery in any of this?
My point was in line with what you are saying. Being unconscious for 15sec or so is probably worth hospitalization and caution. It is much more than a couple of seconds of disorientation.mko9 said:

Except that the engines are meant to have a failsafe (unless like everything else on the Honda that was also broken)
> During the 2 seconds Bianchi’s car was leaving the track and traversing the run-off area, he applied both throttle and brake together, using both feet. The FailSafe algorithm is designed to over-ride the throttle and cut the engine, but was inhibited by the Torque Coordinator, which controls the rear Brake-by-Wire system. Bianchi’s Marussia has a unique design of BBW, which proved to be incompatible with the FailSafe settings. - See more at: http://www.fia.com/news/accident-panel#sthash.ZFEC...

There was no brake by wire in 2009. It only came in last year with the new power train.> During the 2 seconds Bianchi’s car was leaving the track and traversing the run-off area, he applied both throttle and brake together, using both feet.

I still think there's more to the crash itself because I don't buy the 'gust of wind' explanation, however I recognise that 3 nights in hospital could indeed be a precautionary measure and I don't think this necessarily means that Alonso had a pre-existing condition or suffered an electric shock etc.

Ron didn't actually say any of that, I was taking the mickey and I thought people would realise this despite my misleading use of speech marks. Just goes to show how laughable Ron's vernacular is, when it can't be separated from what I thought was an over-blown parody!

As you can see in this video it's been a hard few years for Alonso. After escaping years of pointless hard work in southern europe, he still has the clothes he was wearing in the 90s. Just £2 a month will allow Alonso to buy a new jumper to keep him warm and safe before next winter. Please text now.hornetrider said:
That's Rory Bremner standing in a hole and you can see Ron reflected in his eyes.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/31661625
"Data seen by teams indicates the Spaniard attempted the Barcelona track's Turn Three faster than on his previous lap, which was his fastest of the day.
A senior insider told BBC Sport the information suggested there were no suspicious circumstances to the accident.
"It looks like he simply went into Turn Three quicker and ran wide," he said.
Alonso said on Friday he was "completely fine" and was keen to get back in the car."
All deeply suspicious if you ask me
