If there is a team that has been linked to the long race of Fernando Alonso in the F1 that Renault (now Alpine). With the French Fernando Alonso has lived three stages of his career, being world champion in the first of them, in 2005 and 2006. And if there is a character closely linked to the Ovetense pilot, it is none other than Flavio Briatorewho firmly bet on the Asturian when he was barely a young candidate with dreamed of triumphing in this sport.
Fernando Alonso y Flavio Briatore
Fernando Alonso debuted with Minardi, but it was Flavio Briatore who opted strong for him. The one then was the sports director of Renault was convinced of Fernando Alonso’s skills. Eye does not lack, it was also the one who opted for Michael SchumacheA years earlier, and that allowed him to make this bet that was also expensive. Fernando Alonso did not fail and that caused him to will forge a great link between them.
The Italian businessman did not hesitate to Bring Fernando Alonso from his first bad experience in McLarenbut this time the results did not accompany and the Spanish pilot ended Ferrari. during this second period, the Italian star Piquet’s intentional accident in Singapore’s GP so that Alonso won the victorywhich caused its life disqualification (which in the end has not been). It was shown that Fernando Alonso, who achieved victory, did not know the plot of the team leader. This fact did not break the friendship between them.
Brintore return to Alpine
In June of 2024after the FIA lifted the sanction to BriTore, He returned to what was his house With a somewhat more secondary role in the team. But his knowledge, his charisma, and why not say it, his face, they are Granting more power to the front of the team. Proof of this can be seen this week, which after a long pulse with the team, has managed to sit down to Collapent in the steering wheel of Doohanhis goal since he announced his signing during the winter.
BRIATORE SENDA TO FERNANDO ALONSO
Flavio Briatore He has a desire in mind. I would like to live this Final section of his career in F1 again having Fernando Alonso at the wheel of an alpineand so I would have let it know Fernando Alonso. The idea is that, if the Spanish pilot ends up losing Aston Martin’s wheel and looks with strength to continue in the F1, Briatore would open the doors of the team, his house, and what he needed to be able to have him piloting one of his cars.
Very remote options
But the options that this happens seem almost impossible for them to occur. In principle, fERNANDO ALONSO will continue to compete this and the next seasonand it is possible that in 2027 also continue with Aston Martin. But his contract and his commitment to the British team go beyond being in the team until he gets out of the car. Once Fernando Alonso announce his withdrawal, he will remain legacy to the team that has opted for him, and very strong, in the last years of his career. It is an acquired commitment that can hardly break.
He Briatore’s dream is to be able to have FERNANDO ALONSO EN ALPINEthis would have let the pilot know. But the truth is that Fernando Alonso has his future linked to Aston Martin beyond his career as a pilot, but in the world of F1, anything can happen.
