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.
