Briatore-Mosley part 104

Posted on 21/04/2010

To the surprise of nobody, Flavio Briatore has revealed he has no intention of attempting to reconcile his relationship with former FIA president Max Mosley.

The pair have been using the media to wage a war of words for some time, with Briatore accusing Mosley of engaging on a crusade against him over the Crashgate scandal. One of the last acts while he was heading the FIA was to impose an indefinite ban on Briatore, a decision which was thrown out by a Paris court as it was outside the FIA’s powers. Mosley was succeeded by Jean Todt

"He sent me a text message to congratulate us on the birth of Falco, but Mosley is part of my former life. In my future there will be no place for him," Briatore told a glossy Italian magazine.

He also made a point of further nudging himself closer to Todt in nauseatingly gushing terms. "I'm happy for Jean, my friend of 20 years. Thanks to him, the FIA can now quietly and serenely breathe new air."
