Judgment Day has come for Renault’s Ex F1 Boss, Flavio Briatore. He was banned for life back in 2009 after ordering team driver Nelson Piquet Jr. to crash in order for team mate Fernando Alonso to go ahead and win the race.

Briatore believes the ban was excessive and illegal, and that FIA boss Max Mosley asked for him to be banned for revenge purposes. In late November, he went to the French courts to appeal his ban, hoping to get his ban lifted, as well as £900,000 in damages. Even though Briatore was wrong in conspiring to sabotage the event, he is arguing that the FIA method of investigations were against the FIA’s international sporting code.
