Briatore wants to sue the FIA

Flavio Briatore wants to stop there. Even if he is not talking about retirement and could continue his driver management activities, the talkative Italian no longer wishes to have the double hat by returning to the head of a team. “ It was a big victory for me before the French courts, declared the former team manager of Renault F1. But I?ll never take care of an F1 team again in my life, that?s for sure. I'm just happy to regain my dignity after 20 years in this sport »

« I'm still bitter about what happened four months ago, it was very very difficult », Continues Briatore. However, if the Paris TGI recognized the lack of legitimacy of the FIA ​​to judge this type of case, the court did not return to the content of the sanction. Braitore claims that the sanction itself was abusive. “ We have the FIA ​​report and that of the Stewards, and there is no proof that I was involved in the accident. It?s official and made by the FIA. » The former Renault F1 manager was accused of having organized the intentional accident of Nelson Piquet Jr in Singapore 2008, where Fernando Alonso was able to take advantage of the safety car to win.

In addition to the fact that the Paris TGI canceled its sanction, Flavio Briatore wants to sue the FIA ​​again, considering himself greatly wronged by the initial sanction. Indeed, after the conclusion of the FIA ​​on September 21, the Italian manager lost several drivers under contract, the FIA ​​having threatened to no longer accept drivers linked to Briatore. “ We lost Alonso, we lost Kovalainen, insists the Italian to the Daily Telegraph. We have lost several drivers and we are going to sue the FIA ​​for the money we lost. »
