Fernando Alonso will undergo medical tests conducted by the FIA on Sunday.

The broadcaster Sky Italia said the Spaniard needs the governing body's green light in order to return to the cockpit of his McLaren-Honda in Malaysia next weekend.

Almost a month since his mysterious Barcelona testing crash and subsequent hospitalization, Alonso was back in the driver simulator on Wednesday at McLaren's Woking headquarters.
