Former Renault team principal Flavio Briatore has recently stated that Fernando Alonso is one of the ‘few’ great drivers in Formula 1 and he has the capability of defeating Michael Schumacher’s records in the sport.
In 2005 and 2006, Alonso won his two World Championships at Renault under Briatore rule.
"Fernando deserves to be the best driver in history. He has decided to be with Ferrari until the end of his career and I hope he can get the cars to win more titles than (Michael) Schumacher," he added.
Briatore said he rates the newly 30 year old Spaniard higher than any of his current rivals.
"If he had that car" he said, referring to the Red Bull RB7, "Fernando would be winning by a huge margin. He is one of the few great drivers with Senna, Prost and Schumacher."
As for the comparison with seven time World Champion Schumacher, Briatore said: "They are two totally different drivers.
"Fernando is a little better, because when Michael becomes depressed, he falls back, while in the same situation Fernando's concentration sharpens."
