F1-Live.com - Telefonica may back Renault Spanish telecommunications giant Telefonica has reportedly backed Flavio Briatore's campaign to reunite Renault with Fernando Alonso. Coinciding with reigning World Champion Alonso's switch to McLaren, the Madrid-based company - previously pledging $30m per year to Renault as a major sponsor - left the French team at the end of 2006. But subsequent to reports that the Enstone-based outfit's team principal Briatore is planning a meeting with Alonso in Turkey later this month, the specialist magazine Auto Motor und Sport says Telefonica might be willing to return to Renault if the disgruntled 26-year-old also comes back. What does this show? Is Britatore desperate to bring back Alonso? Or are the Spanish companies willing to pay whatever they need to help Alonso escape from McLaren? |
