As it turns out, there is more to the story...
When Alonso regained consciousness, he was asked some routine questions. Apparently he had no idea where he was, that he'd been driving an F1 car, etc...

There are reports now that quote him as having replied to the emergency responsers' questions "My name is Fernando Alonso, I'm 13 and I'd like to drive an F1 car someday". He'd temporarily lost 20y due to the concussion! Can't vouch for it personally but it's on many news sites now and that would explain why he stayed 3 days in a hospital for "nothing at all" per Ron Dennis and is avoiding another hit so soon after that one. Ron Speak, indeed (the art of not lying, exactly, but also not telling the truth).
