FIA to fight overturning of Briatore ban

The FIA have confirmed they will appeal against the Tribunal de Grande Instance’s decision to order the overturning of a lifetime ban from motorsport imposed on Flavio Briatore.

The FIA are to appeal against last week’s decision of the Tribunal de Grande Instance who ordered the overturning of a lifetime ban from motorsport imposed on Flavio Briatore.

Briatore last week celebrated the news, believing it restored his “dignity and freedom” in the wake of a suspension that was imposed by the FIA for his role in the infamous ’crashgate’ saga.
