Magnussen requires FIA clearance to race in Monza

Following his huge accident at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday, Kevin Magnussen will undergo further medical checks on Thursday to decide whether he is fit to race at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix.

The Renault driver sustained heavy bruising to his left ankle when he crashed at the top of Spa-Francorchamp's famous Eau Rouge corner, with the impact registering 42G as he hit the barriers. He was immediately taken for a series of precautionary checks at a nearby hospital in Verviers before being released the same day to return home to Denmark. He has since undergone further checks in Denmark that all indicate he will be fit to race at Monza this weekend.
