Flavio Briatore has admitted that he doesn't want to return to Formula One in the future, having already rejected Ferrari on two occasions. The former Renault team boss feels it will be difficult to find the motivation to have success as a team boss.

"I don't want to go back in Formula 1, because you can only give the motivation and want for such a project once," Briatore Autosprint.

"It's a train that only comes once and you have to do everything to make it as much as possible.

"In my F1 time, I even slept in the factory. I had a bedroom next to my office to waste as little time as possible.

The 69-year-old was forced to resign from Renault in 2009 after Crashgate was uncovered by the fired Nelsinho Piquet, although his ban was lifted he has no intentions of returning.

"No, thank you. I have rejected them twice in the past. I also gave a negative answer to two other teams currently on the grid when I was asked if I wanted to take on a role."
