Alonso cleared provisionally for China F1 return

Former world champion Fernando Alonso has been provisionally cleared to return for McLaren at this week's Chinese Grand Prix, Formula One's ruling FIA said Thursday. Alonso insisted he was "120 percent ready" to compete in Shanghai. Alonso's McLaren flipped and went into a terrifying roll in Melbourne after he clipped Esteban Gutierrez's Haas at close to 200mph, but the two-time champion crawled from the wreckage before walking away.
