Grosjean tops time sheets for Lotus on final day, Alonso in hospital after crash

Romain Grosjean set the fastest lap on the final day of the second preseason test at Barcelona with a 1m 24.067s. He did so on a set of supersoft tyres which was the fastest lap of the entire week.

However, the main story of the day was the crash of Fernando Alonso. Alonso hit the inside wall between turns 3 and 4 at the Circuit de Catalunya. McLaren initially said that Alonso was "conscious and speaking," and that he was being "airlifted to hospital for further checks." McLaren later released a statement that said "he was uninjured but will remain in hospital overnight."

Also on track, Nico Rosberg set the second fastest time of the day with a 1m 24.321s. What was most noteworthy about this time however was that it was set on the medium compound tyres. This is a bit worrying for the competition because he was only three-tenths slower than Grosjean on tyres that were two compounds harder. 

Also of not on track was Toro Rosso rookie Carlos Sainz crashed at turn 3 but he was ok.
