Briatore now relies on the baby formula
Paris --
Although Flavio Briatore lifetime ban was legally abolished, believes his friend Bernie Ecclestone is not a return of the epicure in Formula 1 "Of course he is happy that he has won," Ecclestone told the Daily Mail: "But he has not said that he intends to return to F1, and I do not think he will."
With this decision, wants the 59-year-old, 1994 and 1995 world champion Michael Schumacher to leave, period. "The only formula that has interested me now, baby formula," said the expectant father. The Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris on Tuesday was his by the FIA imposed lifetime ban declared invalid.
In a statement, said the former Renault team boss, whose wife Elisabetta Gregoraci soon to bring her first child: "Let me a little time to enjoy this moment of happiness in this difficult time."
Since the FIA has already announced it would investigate the possibility of an objection against the court decision, Ecclestone fears that the dispute will continue. "It is far from over. Just because a judge says, what he has said, it makes no difference, "said the 79-year-old. The Englishman was himself a member of the FIA World Motor Sport Council on 21 Involved in September at the guilty verdict against Briatore because of the instigation of Nelson Piquet Jr in a deliberate accident, but it had then been described as too harsh.
"The court has decided that it was wrong. Now, the FIA can start again with a new hearing, and so it will always go on, "Ecclestone said:" This is the worst. It would be better if they would put all to the table and see what can be done. "
Italian media, meanwhile, commented sardonically that the court had confirmed its ruling Briatore's allegations that the sentence against him was merely the result of a revenge campaign of the former FIA president Max Mosley had been. Briatore himself, who had recovered his "honor and freedom", stated in his declaration that the FIA did not have the competence to pronounce the sentence against him.
The racing association insists that the court had not ruled on Briatore's role in the scandal itself, but merely assesses the procedure.
