Magnussen given green light by FIA after illness
Kevin Magnussen has been passed fit to take part in the remainder of the Mexican Grand Prix weekend after falling ill during Friday practice.
Despite completing both Friday practice sessions for Haas, ending FP2 17th fastest, the Danish driver battled with a virus and was excused from media duties in order to recover away from the circuit at the orders of team principal Guenther Steiner.
Having rested overnight, Magnussen has passed medical tests set by the FIA to be given the go-ahead of take part in Saturday’s FP3 and qualifying.

Happy to report @KevinMagnussen feeling much better. Doctors gave him the thumbs up. Business as usual for the Dane today. pic.twitter.com/SslNMZOMFF
