Cleared Briatore savours his ‘moment of happiness and joy’

FLAVIO BRIATORE is to revel in his “moment of happiness” before taking stock as to whether to return to Formula One.

Briatore believes his dignity and freedom have been restored after the Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) in Paris ordered the overturning of a lifetime ban from motorsport imposed by the FIA.
