F1: Flavio Briatore in hospital with coronavirus

The Hindu  

Former Formula One team executive Flavio Briatore has reportedly been admitted to the hospital in Milan with coronavirus. The 70-year-old Briatore had complained over the past month about the Italian government’s decision to close nightclubs again after the number of new virus cases started rising again. The flamboyant Italian also played football last week with friends, including Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, who has also tested positive for COVID-19. He left F1 after being found guilty of ordering Nelson Piquet Jr. to deliberately crash his car to help team-mate Fernando Alonso win the Singapore Grand Prix in 2008.
