Like him or loathe him, Flavio Briatore gets people talking. The Italian has been drafted into an executive advisor role at Alpine - the team he lead to title glory in the Michael Schumacher Benetton and Fernando Alonso Renault days, before being dismissed over crashgate in 2009.

Briatore won't be team prinicipal or serve in a day-to-day role at the Enstone team, but what do you think of his return? Let us know by voting in the poll and in the comments below!
