“I’m absolutely fine and we will see later if I am able to race tomorrow. Everybody has been looking after me really well. We know what caused the accident and I’m just pleased that everything is OK and I really hope I can race tomorrow.”
As is normal, Hamilton will require a final sign-off by FIA Medical Delegate Gary Hartstein on Sunday morning before he is allowed to race. McLaren expect the outcome of this to be positive.

Hamilton cleared to race
McLaren confirmed this morning that having been examined by FIA Medical Delegate Dr Gary Hartstein and the Chief Medical Officer of the event, Dr Klaus U. Zerbian, Lewis Hamilton has been cleared to race in the European Grand Prix.
It follows the British driver’s high-speed crash during Saturday’s qualifying session at the Nurburgring. Hamilton escaped uninjured, but was airlifted to hospital for a precautionary CT scan.
He will start from 10th place on the grid, with the same fuel load that he began qualifying with.
=============================
After the pleasant weather yesterday, it is more overcast this morning. The ambient temperature high will be around 19 degrees Celsius, and once again there is a chance of showers this afternoon.
