Flavio Briatore
Flavio Briatore is an Italian businessman, who currently serves as Renault's executive advisor for Formula One. As the longtime team principal of Team Enstone, Briatore led the team to three World Constructors' Championships and four World Drivers' Championships. However, he was dogged by allegations of cheating, including the 1994 "Launch Control" controversy and the 2007 "Spygate" affair, although in both cases his teams escaped penalties. He was forced out of Renault and received a lifetime ban from F1 after the 2008 "Crashgate" scandal, although a French court subsequently overturned the ban. Fifteen years later, he returned to Renault as "team boss in all but name."
