Fernando Alonso woke up after a terrifying crash in pre-season testing thinking it was 1995 and that he was his 13-year-old self with aspirations of racing in Formula One.

The Spaniard suffered a major concussion, which means he will now miss the season-opening Australian Grand Prix at the end of next week. 

But the scale of the impact is only just becoming clear, according to reports from El Pais, via the Daily Mirror:

Spanish daily El Pais has reported that while in a Barcelona hospital after the crash, the Asturias-born driver was asked who he was, what he did for a living and what he wanted to be in the future.

The two-time world champ reportedly replied: "I'm Fernando, I drive go karts and I want to be a Formula 1 driver."

Alonso is a two-time world champion and widely heralded as the era's most skilled driver. While there are no reported concerns about him making a full recovery from the crash, he has been given medical advice to avoid the first race.

It will be tough not to be in Australia, but I understand the recommendations. A second impact in less than 21 days "NO" #countdownMalaysia
