Renowned Formula One figure Flavio Briatore has been seen with two women several years his junior having split from his former partner 45 years younger than him.

Briatore, 75, was spotted aboard a yacht in the south of France last week with his 15-year-old son also in tow as they soaked up the summer sun.

The Italian, who has recently made a return to F1, was seen conversing in a pair of red swimming trunks before taking a dip into the Mediterranean Sea.

He was pictured alongside two women who were seen in skimpy bikinis.

The images come with Briatore having split from Benedetta Bosi – a former law student who is 49 years younger than the 75-year-old.

That followed his separation from his ex-wife Gregoraci, 45, in 2017 after they had married back in 2008.

They had one 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 together, a boy named Falco, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2010, while Briatore has another 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, fashion model Leni Klum, 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 2004, from his relationship with Heidi Klum.

He also previously dated supermodel Naomi Campbell from 1998 to 2003 and was even engaged to her before their eventual split.

The former F1 team principal won titles with both Benetton and Renault, managing Michael Scumacher to drivers’ titles with the former in 1994 and 1995 before Fernando Alonso won consecutive championships with the latter in 2005 and 2006.

However, he was forced to step away from F1 following the Crashgate scandal at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, which sent shockwaves through the sport.

It saw Briatore resign from Renault after he and the team’s chief engineer Pat Symonds allegedly asked their number two driver, Nelson Piquet Jr., to intentionally crash during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.

He was alleged to have done so to allow his teammate Fernando Alonso to gain an advantage – with Alonso eventually winning the race.

Briatore was given a lifetime ban from all FIA-sanctioned events in 2009 for his involvement in fixing the race, only for the decision to be overturned by a French court in 2010.

He then made a surprise return to F1 earlier this year, becoming the de facto team principal of Alpine after Oliver Oakes’s resignation on May 6.

Employed on a consultancy basis by parent company Renault, Briatore is ‘covering the duties previously performed by Oakes’, according to Alpine.

However, the FIA do not see him as Alpine’s official team principal due to the fact that he is not a member of staff, and does not hold an F1 superlicence.

Commenting on the matter, an FIA spokesperson said: ‘Alpine have complied with all regulatory requirements relating to the departure of Mr Oakes, and have submitted their updated staff registration.

‘We believe it is down to Alpine to provide an update on their management structure so we will not comment on any specific person holding a certificate of registration.’

His change in role comes after he was initially appointed to be an executive adviser to the team in the summer of 2024.

Briatore was appointed to the role by Luca de Meo, chief executive officer of Alpine’s parent company Renault.

A team statement released at the time said that he would ‘predominantly focus on top level areas of the team’.

It added that he would be responsible for ‘scouting top talents and providing insights on the driver market, challenging the existing project by assessing the current structure and advising on some strategic matters within the sport’.
