Fernando Alonso will miss a Formula One race for the second season in succession after being ruled out of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix.

The two-time world champion survived one of the most spectacular accidents of modern times at the recent Australian GP, but despite walking away from the wreckage of his McLaren-Honda, the Spaniard has been declared unfit to compete at the Sakhir circuit.

One driver's disappointment is another's opportunity, however, and Alonso's absence will see the highly rated Stoffel Vandoorne make his long-awaited F1 debut in Bahrain.

When Alonso was last ruled out of a grand prix, Kevin Magnussen was the one chosen to replace him. But the Dane is now racing in the bright-yellow colour of Renault, who have returned to the F1 grid in 2016.

The French manufacturer enjoyed a solid enough start to the season in Australia, but racing director Frederic Vasseur has insisted the Enstone-based team must improve their qualifying pace.

Manor, meanwhile, are hopeful of improving in every area following a winter of change, with Dave Ryan explaining why he was left with mixed feelings after the first race of 2016.

Like Alonso, Mark Webber suffered a number of frightening accidents over the course of his F1 career, and the former Red Bull driver has bemoaned the way F1 has allowed itself to walk into an accident with the sport's handling of the elimination-style qualifying format.

Closing our latest roundup is Pat Symonds, a major contributor to Alonso's consecutive championship triumphs a decade ago, who has questioned whether the teams have too much influence on F1's rules and regulations.
