💬 'Honestly it was quite sad and annoying to read that conspiracy' Fernando Alonso has denied that his manager Flavio Briatore was the architect behind his shock F1 switch from Alpine to Aston Martin BelgianGP
Reports during the break speculated that Alonso’s manager, Briatore, had played a key role in Alonso’s move in a joint plan with Mark Webber, who looks after Piastri’s affairs.
“They were very clear and very easy decisions from my side and what happened after, and what is happening with Oscar, it is completely not my thing. Oscar is an incredible talent for any team and for Alpine and I have been working for him for two years and I wish him the best and also the best for Alpine.
Alonso’s switch took many in the paddock by surprise, including Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer, who revealed he had only learned of the two-time world champion’s impending departure when he read Aston Martin’s press release announcing the move. “But all the people that I’d been negotiating with, they were informed before any announcement about my move to Aston. And with my mechanics and my engineers, I took my time to inform them before any announcement.”
