The past 24 hours have been shaky and controversy ridden for Alpine F1. Their new team principal, Briatore took over operations from Oliver Oakes. Oakes&rsquo; resignation gave way to Jack Doohan&rsquo;s demotion from his seat. Their new driver, Franco Colapinto has five races to prove himself.<\/p><p>Yet, amidst all this chaos, Briatore&rsquo;s name caught the most attention. At first, Flavio Briatore has to bear the accusations of influencing Oliver Oakes&rsquo; decision to resign. He came forward to relay a deciding message regarding the current situation in the team.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flavio Briatore: A Brief Biography of New Alpine F1 Team Principal<\/h2><p>Flavio Briatore is an Italian Businessman, serving as the executive order and team principal of Alpine F1.

Briatore was a part of the Benetton Formula 1 team and later Renault Formula 1 team during 1990s and 2000s era of Formula 1.<\/p><p>After Briatore&rsquo;s exit from Formula 1, he used to call Formula 1 a sport of accountants rather than &ldquo;gladiators&rdquo;. Briatore&rsquo;s stance regarding Formula 1 was more towards the entertainment side of F1. He did not like the idea of technicalities which were prevalent in the sport.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alpine have hired Flavio Briatore as an Executive Advisor &#128064;<br><br>a good move by Alpine? &#129300; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Rjvhq4jGcL\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Rjvhq4jGcL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; WTF1 (@wtf1official) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wtf1official\/status\/1804079841991393446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 21, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flavio Briatore&rsquo;s Journey- Benetton and Renault Formula 1 Teams<\/h2><p>Flavio Briatore made his first Formula 1 appearance in 1985. His company, the Benetton Group, bought Toleman Motorsport. Renamed as, Benetton Formula 1 team, Flavio Briatore was not a prominent member of the team&rsquo;s operations. Although, after he became active in the team, his first move was to recruit Michael Schumacher from Jordan in 1991. He gave Benetton their two Formula 1 championships by building a team around Michael Schumacher.

FIA kicked out Flavio Briatore in September 2009 from the sport. He was banned forever from Formula 1. The FIA went as far as to stop granting superlicense to the drivers under his management. It was among the harshest punishments that an individual could face in Formula 1. The FIA was keen on abolishing Flavio Briatore from Formula 1 for life.<\/p><p>This ban, was a result of Flavio Briatore&rsquo;s controversial actions at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. He allegedly passed the instructions to Nelson Piquet Jr. in order to crash during the race. This helped Fernando Alonso win the race. The scandal was known as the &ldquo;<em>Crashgate<\/em>&rdquo; controversy.

I got into online journalism a couple of years ago. I used to be an intern for a website managing their Formula 1 content and then I served an entire year as a contractual writer. For me, online journalism was not something I expected. I am a Mechanical Engineer aiming to join Formula 1. At the same time, I am a poet, writer and my university\\'s Literary Club Lead. One day the dots connected together and I realised I could use my writing skills to convey my passion for Motorsports. The biggest aspects I love about my role are- Scuderia Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel. When I am not fawning over them I like to convey my opinions to the public, in a manner which helps them gain a new point of view. I love helping people explore new ideas about Motorsports and obviously get recognised as a writer all over the world.
