McNish to miss the Grand Prix?

Although he took part in the warm-up on Sunday morning at Suzuka, it is thought likely that Allan McNish will be told that he cannot race in this afternoon's Grand Prix on the advice of the Formula 1 doctor Sid Watkins. If the news is confirmed it will mean that the Toyota driver - in what is the team's home event - will miss his last event. McNish has been dropped by the team for next year and at the moment there is no sign that he will be getting a drive elsewhere.
