Briatore ready to fight back in court
Flavio Briatore is set to lodge papers at the Tribunal de Grand Instance in Paris to cancel his lifetime ban from motorsport, which he received as punishment from the FIA for his involvement in the 'crashgate' scandal.
In a statement issued by Flavio Briatore, the Italian said: "In this case, the FIA has been used as a tool to exact vengeance on behalf of one man. This decision is a legal absurdity and I have every confidence that the French courts will resolve the matter justly and impartially."
Not only is Briatore trying to overthrow his severe punishment, the flamboyant Italian is also demanding compensation for the damage caused to his good reputation.
