Briatore sees himself “in the business” of F1

Flavio Briatore, one year after his exclusion from Renault F1 Team and its ban from the world of motorsport by the FIA, seems happier than ever. If he was not able to extend his career as a team director until the age of 62, the Italian told the Journal du Dimanche that he wanted to ? recharge (one's) batteries ", having " decided to leave F1 no matter what » at the end of the 2009 season.

The Italian businessman thinks he has served his time and proven himself at the head of a team. “ In seventeen years, I won seven championships with two teams. It’s a nice track record. Either way, it was time for me to move on. This break did me good. F1 consumes you. The pressure is there every day. Breathing for a moment feels good. »

And today, FB says that he hasn't missed F1 in recent months. “ Never. I was in daily contact with the industry, I watched the Grands Prix from my living room. It was perfect. » However, he plans to return within a few months. “ I gave myself a two-year break. Then, I will be ready to try a new professional adventure. »

If the world is vast, Flavio Briatore confides that “ It's a possibility » to see him return to the paddock soon, even if there is? nothing specific at the moment ". Doubt still hangs over the Italian?s desires, who nevertheless knows which sector interests him: ? Drawing a line under the role of team principal is not saying goodbye to F1. There are still interesting things to do there but more in the commercial field. In business. »
