Flavio Briatore is Executive Advisor of BWT Alpine Formula One Team having returned for the third time to Enstone in June 2024 at the request of Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo. Flavio works closely with Team Principal Oliver Oakes and Technical Director David Sanchez on the management, strategy and direction of the Team.

Italian Flavio has won seven world championship titles in Formula 1 at the helm of an Enstone-based Team. With a deft hand for galvanizing teams and for spotting emerging young driver talent, Flavio was pivotal in the early careers of two of Formula 1’s brightest stars: Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso.

Serving as Team Principal, in 1994, Benetton won the FIA Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship with Schumacher, repeating the feat a year later with a Drivers’-Constructors’ double. In 2005, as Renault F1 Team, Flavio led the Team to back-to-back double Championships with Alonso crowned a two-time Drivers’ Champion.

His mission is to restore success to Enstone in Formula 1 with BWT Alpine Formula One Team where he has already had an immense impact since his return midway through the 2024 season, culminating in a sixth place finish in the Constructors’ Championship.
