Controversial Figure Endorsed for Ferrari Team Boss Role
In a shocking turn of events, Flavio Briatore, the Alpine executive advisor, has received a surprising endorsement from Ignazio La Russa, president of the Senate of the Republic in Italy, to potentially take over the leading role at Ferrari. Despite never having worked for Ferrari in Formula 1 before, Briatore might be the answer to Ferrari’s tumultuous season.
Briatore, known for his past controversies in the F1 world, recently stepped into the team principal role at Alpine after the sudden departure of Oliver Oakes. With Ferrari facing a challenging season and rumors swirling about Fred Vasseur’s position as team principal being in jeopardy, the endorsement of Briatore by La Russa has stirred up a wave of speculation in the F1 community.
La Russa, a prominent figure in Italian politics and a member of the right-wing ‘Brothers of Italy’, expressed his support for Briatore, stating, “Flavio is a dear friend of mine, whatever he has done, he has always done very, very well.” Despite acknowledging that simply changing the team manager might not be the sole solution for Ferrari’s woes, La Russa believes Briatore could bring about a much-needed shake-up at the Maranello-based squad.
At 75 years old, Briatore’s potential impact on Ferrari is being closely watched by fans and experts alike. La Russa emphasized, “Flavio would be a resource that could give a major shake-up. He is capable not only of growing but also of getting things done.”
As the F1 community awaits further developments on the Ferrari team boss role, the endorsement of Briatore by such a prominent figure as La Russa has added a new layer of intrigue to the already intense world of Formula 1 politics.
