Flavio Briatore says he has no idea how long Fernando Alonso will continue to race in Formula 1 as he is “still motivaಞted like a young driver”.

Briatore - who is currently serving in an advisory role at Alpine - has been Alonso’s♎ personal manager throughout his F1 career, and was also his team boss at Renault when he won both of his world titles in 2005 and 🃏2006.

The 43-year-old is the oldest driver on the current F1 grid and earlier this yeꦅar penned a new deal to remain with Aston Martin through to the e🔥nd of 2026.

Speaking on the Formula For Success podcast, Br💧iatore was asked about Alonso’s future.

“I have manag🌼ed Fernando Alonso now for 22 years. We have a 22-year marriage,” Briatore began.

“Fernando is still very di⛦fficult to understand, because Fernando is still motivated like a young driver.

🍃“He’s super fit, maybe more fit now than the time he was driving for me [at Renault].

“He lives in Monaco, he’s doing the bicycle every day🐽, doing 60, 70, ꦡ80km every day.

“He goes to the gym 🐟every day. Every time we go to dinner he is very, very careful, never cheating with his food.

“He’s unbelievable. I don’t know🐼. If you ask me if Fernando wants to continue beyond our last contract… our last year will be 2026, for the moment.

“What he wants to do after, I don’t know [if] he wants to co☂n꧂tinue one more year.

“The performance🉐 is there, you see it’s🎀 there. It’s not a question that he’s lost concentration.

“Duri𝔉ng the race, he’s always there: if he’s 11th, he wants to be 10th; if he’s 10th he wants to be ninth.

“He wants the c🍨ar to be competitive. He’s qualifying well, he’s racing well.

“I don’t know, honestly, if he♐ w🌠ants to stop in 2026 or go one more year.

“I don’t know. It depends the fಞeeling he has about racing, the timing, I don’t know if he will have a family at that time.

“But for sure he is som𒆙ebody unique. I’ve never seen somebody like൲ that, so determined every day.”

Alonso remains competitive in the latter stages of his F1 career, with the Spaniard scoring eight podiums for Aston la💟st year and is currently ninth in the drivers’ standings with consistent top eight results.
