Briatore blue as the force board Force Blue

Poor old Flavio Briatore is having a hard time of it lately and things have not got better after the Italian police seized his yacht, ‘Force Blue’ over an alleged tax-evasion issue.

Tax evasion (and we are not saying that… a cheat like Flavio would stoop so low) is a national pastime in Italy, a country which once impounded Diego Maradona’s diamond earrings for the same offence, so the chance of being able to grab a great big boat to impress the boys back at the nick was too much to resist for the carabinieri to resist.

All told, it is a boring story about a spoilt man we care little about but it does gives us the excuse, yet again, to use this picture of his wife’s impressive stern.

Maybe being Flavio isn’t so tough after all…

Did Flavio scupper Eddie’s flight?

Did Flavio scupper Eddie's flight?

Rumours that the cloud of ash currently covering the UK, were caused by Flavio Briatore knocking over an ash tray are believed to be false. However, the cancellation of all flights means that Eddie Jordan has not yet been able… to make it to China, so if he did do it, then the ex-Renault boss deserves a bit of credit - for causing an accident that had a good result for once.

Yet another Campos buyout?

Yet another Campos buyout?

 

With everybody from Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone, Volkswagen and those loudmouth’s from Serbia reported to be buying Campos, we can today reveal that the beleaguered Spanish team has been saved.

Again.

A consortium lead by British aristocrat Lord Lucan (pictured) who has not been since 1974 and Shergar, the missing racehorse, with financial backing from the fabled, undersea city of Atlantis promise to get the team on the Bahrain grid with a car built from kryptonite.

Bernie Ecclestone discovers new art talent

Bernie Ecclestone discovers new art talent

Debra Murphy of Class 4, St Ethel’s Junior School, Swindon, is suddenly in demand from people wanting portraits that bear no resemblance to themselves, following her recent commission to do Bernie Ecclestone’s 2009 christmas card.

Debra, 14, was chosen from a… shortlist of four very bad artists to produce the card depicting Max Mosley, BMW’s Mario Theissen and Toyota’s John Howett sailing away in a yacht. She was going to include the Bridgestone boss but could not recall his name let alone what he looked like.

The boat-load sailing away from F1 are waved off by the remaining team bosses with Bernie watching from the lifeguard station, while for some reason Flavio Briatore prepares to launch a rocket attack from a nearby rowing boat.

For good measure there are sharks circling and F1 cars racing in the distance.

We don’t know what Debra is on but we’d certainly like some of it to get Christmas going…

Flat for sale – only $25 million

Flat for sale – only $25 million

Disgraced Renault boss, Flavio Briatore, has not had the best of times recently, bless his silken socks, but he could soon be cheered up if he sells his apartment at One Beacon Place in New York for a profit of… $14 million. The penthouse pad has four bedrooms, a study, an exercise room, a view of Central Park and “13-foot high ceilings” which must be useful for very tall visitors.

Apparently, according to the estate agent, it also has the “most powerful master bedroom seen in years.”

Well that explains the beautiful, recently impregnated, 29 year old Wonderbra model then.
