Great news for Formula One driver Fernando Alonso -- the 2-time champ says he's ready to return to the track ... just 3 weeks after breaking his jaw in a gnarly cycling accident.

The 39-year-old racing star was road cycling in Switzerland last month when he was hit by a car that was attempting to turn into a supermarket parking lot.

Alonso was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors performed surgery to repair a fracture to his upper jaw.

Now, just 3 weeks later ... Alonso says he's ready to get back behind the wheel of his race car to compete in the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 28.
