Alesi doubtful for Hungary.

Jean Alesi may not be fit enough for next weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, he has revealed in the wake of his Hockenheim shunt.

The Frenchman was sent spinning off the German circuit and into the barriers following a collision with former Sauber team-mate Pedro Diniz, and continues to suffer from stomach pains four days after the incident. Alesi claimed at the time that it was probably the worst accident he had suffered in Formula One, and slammed Diniz's defensive tactics as the cause.
