�The Lion in the Sun� is the name of the imposing mansion that Briatore owns in Malindi. There the two Renault drivers and the reserve, Montagny, have carried out a demanding physical workout. The days began at 6.00am - to avoid the midday heat- and included mountain bike, constant running, trekking across dunes, canoeing, the gymnasium... under the supervision of Edoardo and Fabricio, the team�s PE instructors.

�Really it is no so tough� admits Alonso. �We get up early but that is to beat the heat. This helps us to stay fit after another week in the UK�. For Flavio Briatore this is a very important week and we do not only work on the physical side: �We have a lot of time to talk too, and we have a quiet week overall. The objective is to get to know each other better and of course to train�. The Italian busineesman even does some sport with the drivers. �Briatore is just in the photo� jokes Alonso.
� This is the second ime that the Spaniard has gone to this type of training in Kenya. For Franck Montagny it is the first time: �This is an important week, day after day we get to know each other better. The setting is incredible�. The Frenchman perhaps is referring to the private beach, the four swimming pools and the gymnasium, among other luxuries, that make up this five hectare refuge. |
