Briatore talks about Alonso and Ferrari

Little snippet caught my eye today in the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

Flavio Briatore was on Italian radio, talking about the stories that Alonso has already signed for Ferrari for 2011 (with an option to drive in 2010 if Raikkonen has another poor season). If you want to learn more about this story, by the way, scroll down to a post I did on it at the very end of December.

I'm not sure which way he would prefer it, talking about his star driver once it's been confirmed he's going to the opposition (2006 season) or talking about him with just strong and persistent rumour that he's going. I'll ask him on Thursday in Geneva, if I get a chance...anyway here's what he said.

"It's like a soap opera," Briatore said of the story, "One that they keep preparing but which never gets broadcast. I think that a driver should always want to drive for Ferrari and if he wins this year with Renault, I will be more relaxed seeing him at Ferrari. If it happens, it happens."
