I am fairly certain Fernando Alonso knew about it.
Heck this is a guy that went a far as to get the Spanish Sports Minister to try and get him more favorable treatment after Lewis Hamliton started kicking his butt in race after race.
As for Falvio Briotare, I have always liked the guy, but this is just disgusting. The whole Formula 1 set up right now is riddled with corruption and sleaze of any kind you an think of, ranging from Mosley's Nazi style kinky sex antics, to Bernie Ecclestone’s profession of his great admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Just who are these clowns anyway?
You can't make this stuff up. If you saw it in a movie, you’d think they were letting their imaginations run wild.

Hmmm - Briatore out of F1 for life and Toyot is rumored to be leaving - two of the biggest thorns in the side of Max Mosely. They are all just so ... Eurpoean

This all makes Peter Windsor and United States Grand Prix Engineering look brilliant, locating in Charlotte. They are also looking at Cosworth power, which is another American owned company. Will we see the return of the Lotus Cosworth? I hope so.
