The Spaniard survived a spectacular crash in the season opener in Melbourne a fortnight ago, but doctors have decided that he hasn"t recovered well enough to race in Bahrain this weekend.Alonso didn"t appear to have any injuries at the time, although he has now confirmed that he sustained a minor lung collapse and rib fractures in the crash, which peaked at an enormous 46G.In a statement, the FIA said: "Two sets of chest CT scans were compared and it was decided on safety grounds that there was insufficient resolution of the signs to allow [Alonso] to compete on safety grounds."The FIA will reassess the two-time world champion again in two weeks" time before the Chinese Grand Prix, where again his place on the grid will depend on medical clearance.It"s the second time in as many seasons that Alonso has missed a race, having sat out the Australian Grand Prix following an accident in pre-season testing last year.
