Today, the 74-year-old is making his return to the paddocks by becoming Executive Advisor to Luca de Meo, Managing Director of the Renault Group, which owns the BWT Alpine F1 Team. The news was announced by the French manufacturer just before free practice for the Spanish Grand Prix.

In the role, Briatore will be responsible for strengthening Alpine’s technical teams, notably at Enstone (chassis/aero) and Viry-Châtillon (engine). He will also oversee the recruitment of engineers and other talent to optimise the track team’s performance.
