Time when you could have two strong drivers in the team are over - Briatore
Flavio Briatore said to the Italian newspaper 'Gazzetta dello Sport' that he has told Fernando Alonso the door at Renault is always open for him. It has been rumoured for weeks now that the Spaniard will leave McLaren after only one season due to the bad relationship between him, Dennis and Hamilton.
Flavio Briatore said: "I told Fernando that the moment he is free from McLaren, we would be pleased to have him back. It would be stupid to deny that."
This weekend Ferrari team principal Jean Todt ruled out the rumour that the double World Champion would join the Scuderia. Flavio said on the topic: "First of all, after this experience at McLaren, Alonso will think 27 times before facing new adventures in other teams, and besides Todt already has two good drivers. And lastly I wonder: would it be positive to team up Alonso and Raikkonen? The time when you could have two strong drivers in the team are over. Now it's important that the roles, number one and two, are clear, otherwise you risk to destabilise the team."
