As Fernando Alonso celebrated his maiden Formula 1 victory at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix, then Renault boss Flavio Briatore waved from the steps of the team's motorhome and beckoned me over.
"I wanna say something," he said, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. "This win, I want to dedicate it to all the housewives of the world."
His comment was in reference to a barb that had been thrown Renault's way for it signing up that season for an extra two hours of practice on a Friday morning in exchange for reduced in-season testing.
