Fernando Alonso is back in training – as he tries to prove his fitness to compete at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix next week.

The McLaren driver missed the last race in Bahrain as he hadn’t recovered from the fractured ribs he suffered from a crash in Australia last month.

Alonso posted a picture on Instagram of him doing conditioning work – and says he hopes to cycle and swim in the next few days.

Vuelta a los entrenamientos, en los próximos días espero poder retomar la bicicleta y la natación también. Poco a poco💪💪 Return to the training, in the next few days I hope to do also cycling and swim . Step by step 💪💪 #training #comeback
