Briatore praises Alpine for perfect storm in Brazil – counts the cash

Flavio Briatore, was full of praise for Alpine's stunning performance in last weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

However, the French outfit’s executive advisor acknowledged that luck had played a significant role in the team's unexpected double-podium finish.

Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly capitalized on the chaotic conditions at Interlagos, holding out on a critical pit stop and finding themselves in prime positions when a red flag was deployed mid-way through the rain-drenched event.
