If Flavio Briatore would not have become the team boss of Benetton in formula 1, he could be today may be an Advisor to the US President Donald Trump. This is one of the kurioseren anecdotes from a recent with the Italian Playboy and business man.
Briatore, is actually a “qualified” stock speculator, told to throw his To Tom Clarkson is just long and wide from the time when his former boss, Luciano Benetton, has asked, a look on its formula 1 Team.
As he mentioned, quite casually, why he wanted to Benetton’s offer actually, first do not accept: “I wanted to go back to New York. I had an offer from Donald Trump, in America for him.”
Clarkson asks: How, please, Donald Trump, the US President? Briatore explains: He should have been to help Trump “on a commercial side in his new Casino in Atlantic City”. “We have to talk about it. I remember that Luciano Benetton and Donald have taken. Must have been 1991 or 1992.”
Trump and Briatore were in New York in the late 1980s, young men, who attempted, after the stock market crash with the “Black Monday” in 1987, career technically start. That their paths have crossed, is a little surprising. The scene of Playboys that want to get rich quick, was, at the time, even in New York manageable. We all knew each other.
“Donald,” recalls Briatore, “has first purchased the Plaza. I remember that we were sitting with the Donald in the office. As Donald Luciano tells that he has purchased the Plaza. I was introduced to Luciano Benetton and Donald to each other, because I was sure that it is possible to do together what. At the time Donald was not yet in politics.”
Although it has not come to a cooperation, Briatore and Trump the contact never breaking. And it is also no coincidence that Briatore years later, suddenly, in the Italian Version of the TV series “The Apprentice” showed up, which was first published in the United States with Trump in the “main role”.

As Trump the success of the format that has made him prior to his election to the presidency after years with little public attention again famous, exported to Italy, he remembered his old friend.
“I’ve always had a good relationship with him,” recalls Briatore. “As he has decided, ‘The Apprentice’ to broadcast in Italy, he wanted to me. He said: ‘I want Flavio Briatore for that!'”
The says the former formula 1 Manager, whose Motorsport career by the “crash-gate”of fraud has serious harm suffered, not without Pride. He could show the Video on the phone, at the Trump for “The Apprentice” called, he says to the Interviewer, to demonstrate his relationship with Trump.
