I dedicate this podium to Flavio - Alonso
Renault F1 driver Fernando Alonso has dedicated his Singapore podium finish to Flavio Briatore. The third place of the Spaniard was the first podium of the 2009 season for the French outfit in a difficult year.
Alonso said: "The team has been fantastic, all season, we had a fantastic team. The mechanics and engineers, everyone in the factory, did the maximum, and sometimes we got some good results and sometimes were a bit unlucky.
"But this podium in a particular moment after what happened... it has been a difficult time for the team, now we put it behind us and we concentrate on the remaining races.
"And I dedicate this podium to Flavio - he is at home but he is part of the success we had today."
