Fernando Alonso says it was “sad and annoying” to see conspiracies involving him, Flavio Briatore and Mark Webber about the F1 driver market saga involving Alpine and McLaren Full story ⬇️
Amid the driver market madness, links were made between Alonso, his former manager Flavio Briatore and Piastri’s manager,But Alonso denied there was any involvement from Briatore in his move or that Webber was aware of things, and that he found it “quite sad and annoying to read that conspiracy.”
“I made this decision, because for some months that I’d been chatting with the team about extending the contract, and nothing officially arrived, and nothing officially happened,” Alonso explained. “Aston called me after Sebastian [Vettel] retired. If Sebastian continued, this probably would not happen, the move to Aston. So they were very clear and very easy decisions from my side.
“What happened after and what is happening with Oscar, as I said, is completely not my thing. I will be completely aside.”Alonso added that Briatore was “not part of any of the negotiations” and he had been “doing my thing always.” “Flavio was coming to some races,” Alonso said. “But as you may know, with other deals he may have with Stefano [Domenicali] and Formula 1 and paddock club and other things, but not related to me.”
