Briatore almost a fatherly figure to me - Alonso
Renault F1 Team driver and two times World Champion, Fernando Alonso, has declared in an interview with the Italian magazine 'Grazia', that Flavio Briatore is more a father figure for him than a boss.
Alonso said: "I owe him so much because he believed in me from when I was 17, he brought me into Formula One. He is not just the boss but almost a fatherly figure to me."
