Briatore just visiting old F1 'friends'

Flavio Briatore has turned down an opportunity to confirm he is putting his F1 career back together.

In the wake of last year's crashgate scandal, the 60-year-old has been back in the paddock on several occasions this year, and his visit to Ferrari last week added new fuel to the speculative fires.

But he told Germany's Welt newspaper: "There are simply many people in F1 that I am still friends with - people I've known for many years and miss."
