After crashing his vehicle during pre-season testing, Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is said to have woken up having no memory of the past 20 years of his life.

Quoting a report in the Spanish daily El Pais, The Telegraph writes that Alonso awoke from the crash believing that it was the year 1995.

"I'm Fernando, I drive go-karts and I want to be a Formula One driver,” the 33-year-old two-time Formula One champion is quoted as telling doctors.

Alonso was taken to the hospital on Feb. 22 after crashing into a wall at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. According to the BBC, the McLaren driver was briefly “unconscious when rescue crews reached him” and was in a “confused state” when he awoke.

Alonso has since been released from the hospital.

Ron Dennis, the McLaren chairman, said last week that Alonso suffered retrograde amnesia post-crash, which is said to not be unusual in patients who have suffered from a severe concussion.

not to mention the recent theft of a laptop containing details of michael schumachers condition which they are scared to death the public will find out about. i wonder if the world will ever get any true answers as to michaels condition

Dr Johannes Peil, who has been one of Schumacher’s physicians for many years, had his surgery in Bad Nauheim in Germany broken into by burglars.

Money, perfume and prescription forms were among the items stolen from the surgery, but it is a laptop which was also taken that is raising particular concerns.

The fears reportedly centre around whether any stolen medical data may reveal the true extent of Schumacher’s condition.

According to a report in the Daily Mail, the clinic in Bad Nauheim in Germany was broken into between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning through an open cellar door.

Only last year a helicopter rescue worker who treated Schumacher hanged himself in a Zurich jail cell after being arrested on suspicion of stealing details of his condition which he allegedly tried to sell to news organisations.

Schumacher's mountain 'refuge' sold - for £1.8m

The 60-year-old Peil, who also reportedly looks after Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg, is part of a team of 15 medics who care for the legendary F1 driver at his home by Lake Geneva.

The break in at Peil’s surgery comes just a week after Schumacher's Norwegian holiday home was sold.

Schumacher 'paralysed and cannot speak'

Petter Birkrem, from the estate agent handling the sale, described the property to Norway's DN newspaper as Schumacher's "refuge from the media pursuit he has suffered throughout his life".

Schumacher spent months in a coma following the accident before being transferred to a rehab clinic in Lausanne, Switzerland. He was then moved to a medical suite built into his mansion in September.
