That means "I am shocked by report about Robert's crash. I wish him the fastest recovery and return to the steering wheel. Robert, don't give up!"
Thanks for that.
If that quote from Alonso is from Twitter, then it's not Alonso, he doesn't have a twitter feed "@nandoalonso" is a fake.
But real Fernando Alonso has visited the hospital so no doubt he's concerned, as we all are.
Get well soon Robert!
Robert-Our thoughts and prayers are with you for a full and speedy recovery
Get well soon! Hope to see you at the F1 opener!
Get well soon, Robert. We all miss you.

Motorsport is a risky sport......The're are ups, and the're downs, Hey that's part of the attraction of the sport. Robert, we all wish you well for a speedy recovery & hope to see you back behind the wheel, on the grid very soon.
A terrible tragedy. Especially because Robert is such an all around decent human being - unlike some of the jerks who think they're great because of the silver spoon in their mouths... Get well soon Robert!
