With Briatore having been found guilty of developing the plan that saw driver Nelson Piquet Jr. deliberately crash to aid team-mate Fernando Alonso in last year's Singapore Grand Prix, Briatore has received a lifetime ban from Formula One as well as any other FIA championship.
"I am distraught," the 59-year-old is quoted as saying by Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, with legal action against the FIA remaining a possibility.
