Kevin Magnussen cut and bruised after Eau Rouge crash

Kevin Magnussen looks set to be fit for the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, despite a horror crash at Spa's Eau Rouge on Sunday.

Kevin Magnussen looks set to be fit for the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, despite a horror crash at Spa's Eau Rouge on Sunday.

The Dane limped from his destroyed Renault and was taken to hospital for checks, with team boss Frederic Vasseur saying that he cut his ankle.

"On my way home now with a sore ankle but will be ready for Monza," Magnussen, 23, tweeted.

The driver's advisor Jesper Carlsen told Danish broadcaster TV3: "Kevin was in good spirits when I saw him, joking a little, so he's fine. He was smiling when he went in the ambulance.

"He's a little bruised, and it will be a few days before he is fresh again, but the important thing is that he is okay."

However, team boss Vasseur insisted that it will be the FIA who needs to clear Magnussen before Monza. Renault's reserve Esteban Ocon was recently promoted to Manor.
