Lewis Hamilton will undergo a medical test by a FIA doctor tomorrow when the decision will be taken on whether he will race.

McLaren have given him the all-clear after a CT-scan in Koblenz.

The Briton said in a team statement that he is fine and wants to race. Team manager Ron Dennis said there was no medical reason that would keep him out of the car.

The following is a McLaren statement

"Vodafone McLaren Mercedes are very happy to confirm that Lewis Hamilton is completely uninjured following his accident during today’s qualifying at the Nürburgring.

Following a thorough examination at the on-track medical centre, he was flown to the Koblenz Bundeswehr Hospital where he underwent a full precautionary CT scan which proved to be entirely normal.

Lewis has no bruises and is highly motivated to race tomorrow.

As is normal, a final sign-off by the FIA Medical Delegate Gary Hartstein will take place tomorrow morning which the team believes will be positive.

If cleared to race, he will start from 10th position with the same fuel load as he started qualifying with."
