Flavio Briatore has threatened to lock Fernando Alonso in the garage if he chooses not to give up cycling after his recent accident.
Alonso, who is returning to Formula 1 in 2021 after two years away from the sport, was hospitalised earlier this month following a crash in Switzerland.
The Spaniard collided with a car near Lugano and was taken to hospital, where he was treated for a fractured jaw and broken teeth.
In an interview with Peter Windsor, Briatore said: “Fernando’s very fit, apart from the accident involving the bike. I talk to him every day. I tell Fernando to stop with his bike because his bike is very dangerous.

Sir Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes team are both in the running to repeat their previous successes at the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2021.
Hamilton was the joint winner of the Sportsman’s award last year along with Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi and, unlike the Argentine, has made the six-man short-list again.
The 36-year-old Briton coasted to his seventh World Championship title in 2020, equalling the record held by Michael Schumacher and also surpassing the German to hold the highest number of F1 race wins, 95.
In doing so, Hamilton played a large role as Mercedes clinched their seventh consecutive constructors’ World Championship, winning 13 of the season’s 17 races.
