As part of Bernie Ecclestone's F1 dream team selection, Alonso would be paired with Jochen Rindt in the driver line-up but also reunited with former boss and manager Flavio Briatore. Alonso won both his world titles for Renault under Briatore, becoming the youngest world champion when he won his first of back-to-back championships in 2005.
