Today, at 70, Flavio Briatore and more. The restaurant and entertainment entrepreneur has turned to segments that are related but distant from the world of Formula One, which gave him popularity and relationships. That team marked an era, also thanks to the intuition of launching pilots like Michael sSchumacher and Fernando Alonso: this was his team, his and gods Benetton.
Briatore and the Renault F1 project
A stable, the Renault or better Alpine, which would be preparing a season of great impact and which should also lead Davide Brivio in F1 (it is not yet certain whether as CEO or team principal). Like him, too Brivio he does not have a specific experience coming from Suzuki and having dealt mainly with motorcycles: “I too was fasting when I arrived at Benetton in 1988, I had never seen a single race. Then I won seven World Cups… – said the Piedmontese manager a The Gazzetta dello Sport -. I don’t think, therefore, that there is more to add and I wish to Brivio to do the same. If Renault has chosen it, there will obviously be many good reasons, so I’m sure inexperience won’t be a problem. Ultimately it comes to managing men. In a few months he will understand everything that needs to be done ”.
Flavio Briatore’s intervention on the appointment of Brivio
A non-trivial reading, in this preparatory phase that has thus marked and fueled controversy. And certainly not only in Ferrari. Making the Brivio, the announcement should take place shortly together with the presentation of the new livery.
And also on these dynamics, the opinion of the former F1 manager close to Benetton He will certainly not fail, considering the attention he shows towards his former team and the engines: “That won’t be a problem either. For me it never was. Brivio arrives in a growing team, will have an exceptional driver like Fernando Alonso and in the end what matters is the performance. It’s having a car that goes fast ”, his synthesis.
GF Vip: the Briatore-Gregoraci rapprochement
Obviously, in these circumstances, not a mention of his return to Monte Carlo from Dubai where he spent a few days in the company of his son Nathan Falco and his ex-wife, Elisabetta Gregoraci, fresh from the experience of the GF Vip. A past that has had its aftermath and that has also shaken the entrepreneur, reluctant to attend the participation of the ex in the reality show, showing those predictable details of their private life and providing elements related to the marriage formally concluded.
But so it was, net of statements, letters, confidences about Schumacher and other protagonists of their common life and of their renewed harmony on which Briatore he did not pronounce himself beyond the concept of family. And also the utterances on Instagram of newfound understanding with Elisabetta, despite the points of divergence, would be due to the desire to show harmony and serenity, for the son they had together.
