	F1 News > The question of Flavio Briatore
		Flavio Briatore's future with Renault is yet to be finalised and, as with Jean Todt at Ferrari, this lack of a decision raises major questions.
		Briatore is widely seen as the man who is responsible for Renault's success in recent years, if only because he knows how to delegate to the right people and let them get on with it.
		Briatore's job is to work the politics (both within Renault and in F1 in general), to stand in front of cameras (a role he excels in) and to find the money.

	Flavio Briatore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Flavio Briatore: F1 playboy and success story \| www.azstarnet.com ®
		Briatore, who has used young drivers and small budgets to put the French manufacturer atop F1, wound up in the sport on a whim: He was Luciano Benetton's business partner when the clothing manufacturer suggested that Briatore direct the company's racing team.
		Briatore's counterpart at Ferrari is Jean Todt, an introverted Frenchman whose meticulous management is the antithesis of Briatore's.
		Briatore's contract is up at the end of this season also, but he could be inclined to stay and have one more go at the title with a Finnish driver - Heikki Kovalainen - that he sees as the sport's next star.

		A sharp businessman, Flavio Briatore is recognized for his Formula 1 success as managing director of the Renault team, as well as his flings with top supermodels, including Heidi Klum.
