Flamboyant man, who despite no motorsport background, has had great success in F1. In 2009, however, he was banned for life from F1 for his role in the Singapore GP race-fixing row. He successfully challenged this in 2010, but despite all this, he still has many interests including sport, restaurants, nightclubs and his many business interests in the clothing/fashion industry. He also is the businessman who is hiring an apprentice in the Italian version of the reality TV programme The Apprentice. In 2024, he returned to the sport as Alpine's commercial and executive consultant.
