It probably doesn't need to be said that Flavio Briatore and Fernando Alonso have a great relationship. The Italian has returned to Formula 1 after a long absence, and he has also expressed his opinion on Alonso.
In which he secretly drops a piece of very exciting information about the Spanish magician...
"According to his contract, his last year at Aston Martin will be the 2026 season, but that's just a piece of paper. He's motivated at every moment, I've never seen anything like it. He's constantly working on the competitiveness of the car, he's good in qualifying, he's good in the races. I don't know what's going on inside him and whether he'll continue, but one thing is for sure, he's absolutely at the top, both physically and mentally. In fact, he's never been in better shape, not even during his time at Renault!"
"I've been his manager for 22 years, but even I often have trouble understanding what he does and why. But his determination is unprecedented. Every single day he rides his bike, rides 60-70 kilometers, goes to the gym, he never misses these things. He always pays attention to his diet, there's never a day when he makes an exception. Never. He mobilizes incredible energy to be competitive and stay competitive. I think he'll be here with us after 2026!" - said Briatore.
