Flavio Briatore insisted: "I think Fernando Alonso can win the championship at Ferrari without Flavio Briatore. 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."

Briatore said he rates the newly 30-year-old Spaniard higher than any of his current rivals. Referring to the Red Bull RB7, he said: "If he had that car, 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."
