Flavio Briatore, is now a man banned from F1 for life. He was part of winning 7 World Titles in total and one of the most charismatic characters in F1 history.

This is his story of dealings with the Mafia, financial fraud, plenty of cheating and international disgrace.

A young Briatore, born in rural Italy in 1950, didn’t inspire hope for his infamous future. He dropped out of multiple public schools before enrolling in private school. He didn't fare much better there, receiving the lowest grade in his year.

I'm William Toet, I worked with Flavio Briatore at the Bennetton team…I worked there from 85 until 95…I started my first job there, honestly was as a model maker I wanted to get my toe in the door was then promoted to senior wind tunnel engineer and then head of aerodynamics.
