Listening to Briatore's words, Chen Xiangbei's mind conjured up a famous future race track accident.
It was at the Albert Park Circuit in 2016, during lap 19 of the race, Alonso attempted to overtake the car ahead, Gutierrez, in the DRS zone, resulting in a collision between the two cars.
Alonso's right front wheel slammed into Gutierrez's left rear wheel, causing Gutierrez to lose control, skid across the track, and crash into the runoff area.
As for Alonso's situation, it was even more perilous. His McLaren car soared into the air at a staggering 310 kilometers per hour, flipped several times mid-air, and crashed heavily into the tire barrier.
The entire car disintegrated, leaving only the cockpit intact.
Fortunately, the high-intensity integrated cockpit and the HANS neck support system's protection in modern F1 saved Alonso's life.
With the same accident intensity happening ten years earlier, the driver might not have survived.
