F1 villain could soon fail the fit and proper person test

A rotund 59-year-old with grey thinning hair and his 29-year-old wife, Italian Wonderbra model Elisabetta Gregoraci. Life, she is not fair.

Unless you have no interest in the sport where they drive around in circles for hours on end in order to sell advertising, you will have heard that Flavio Briatore has stepped down from the Renault F1 team, following the race fixing allegations at the Singapore 2008 Grand Prix.

After Renault bosses announced that the part-owner of QPR is “morally responsible” for an incident which allegedly saw Nelson Piquet Jr massively risk his own safety by deliberately crashing, it looks as if the FIA may throw him out of the sport.

If this happens, he will fail the Football League’s fit and proper person test, which states that a person cannot own a majority interest in a team if they are “subject to a ban from a sports governing body relating to the administration of their sport.”

The knock-on effect for QPR is currently up for debate. The West Londoners would probably miss his commercial nous, new sponsors may be reticent to do business with the club if he stayed. Considering the fact

Former Miss Italy enjoys footballers and constant nakedness

I have not actually seen the agreement a model must sign to become Miss Italy, but I can only assume there is a clause stipulating a compulsory relationship with a footballer. The pageant show has already given us Martina Colombari, Francesca Chillemi, Vincenza Cacace and Elisabetta Gregoraci, and now 1999 winner and nudity enthusiast Francesca Lodo joins their ranks. She has been engaged to Inter’s Javier Zanetti (despite the fact that she met his current wife in 1992) and she has also enjoyed the company of Francesco Coco - a self-professed ‘drugged-up gay who lives in nightclubs’ who has also steamrollered former WOTD Manuela Arcuri.

This Italian soubrette is about to own a stake in QPR

Italian businessman is Flavio Briatore is known by most as the MD of the Renault F1 team and part owner of Queens Park Rangers. Among gorgeous women, however, he is known only as a breathtaking inferno of sexuality, on a par with the Brad Pitts of this world. This accounts for why the 57-year-old has
