Briatore says market will decide Fernando Alonso's Formula 1 future

Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore, a long‑time advisor to Alpine, said his team will evaluate opportunities for Fernando Alonso based on "the law of the market." Speaking after Alonso’s recent comments in Barcelona that he has not yet made a decision about his next drive, Briatore praised the former champion’s talent but noted that he currently lacks a competitive car. He added that Alpine could consider bringing Alonso back if a suitable chance arises, but any move will depend on market conditions and the team’s assessment of its drivers.

Briatore’s remarks highlight the uncertainty surrounding Alonso’s 2025 season and the potential for a change of team as the driver and Alpine weigh their options.
