Fernando Alonso is set to miss the media duties of the F1 Mexican GP as the Spaniard is not feeling well. Thursday is supposed to be the day for media duties but with Alonso under the weather, the Aston Martin driver looks set to miss them.

The driver has had a rough last few races as the upgrades brought by Aston Martin have just not worked. The car has regressed week in and week out, and that's just not a good sign for Alonso, who has seen the machinery under him consistently lose performance. Coming into the F1 Mexican GP, Alonso was going to miss FP1 anyway as Felipe Drugovich was going to be in the car.
