Board to decide on Briatore's QPR ownership
Queens Park Rangers is set to be decided Thursday when the Football League board meets to consider whether the Italian is fit to be an owner after being indefinitely banned from Formula One.
The disciplinary action taken against the former Renault team principal for instructing Nelson Piquet Jr. to deliberately crash appears to put him in violation of the Football League's "fit and proper person test.''
The Football League, which governs the divisions below the Premier League, has received a dossier from F1's governing body that will be discussed at the meeting.
Briatore is co-owner of QPR, which plays in the second-tier League Championship, along with F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and Indian steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal. Briatore is also chairman of the holding company that owns the club and a director on the board.
