Mar.18 (GMM) Flavio Briatore's first son has been born and named Falco Nathan, according to the Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 59-year-old Italian, who recently ruled out returning to formula one despite overturning his lifetime ban for the Singapore race-fixing scandal, was reportedly present for the birth at 8am in Nice.
Falco weighs a healthy 4.1kg, and Briatore's 30-year-old wife Elisabetta Gregoraci, a wonder-bra model, is reportedly also well.
The Italian Grand Prix will remain at Monza until 2016, it has been confirmed. With Formula 1 commercial rights holder Bernie Ecclestone having already said that capital city Rome will host a race in coming years, the legendary parkland track on the outskirts of Milan will remain as home to the country's national Grand Prix.
Massa never doubted physical condition
18 March 2010 / Results / Photos
Felipe Massa has insisted that he never held any worries over his physical abilities, having finished runner-up to team-mate Fernando Alonso in the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. The collection of 18 points marked a strong return for the Brazilian after his never-death experience in Hungary last year.
Alonso again . . . just
Changes for the 2007 season meant that it would be the last time in the foreseeable future with two tyre manufacturers going head-to-head, as Michelin announced it would withdraw from the sport at the end of the season. Sadly for most Formula One enthusiasts, the great Spa Francorchamps circuit was omitted from the 2006 calendar due to a lack of time to complete improvements on the track.
When the racing started in earnest, Renault and Fernando Alonso continued where they left off in 2005. The new champion won in Bahrain and Australia before reeling off consecutive victories in Spain, Monaco, Great Britain and Canada.
After two disastrous seasons by his own high standards, Michael Schumacher won consecutive races at Imola and the Nurburgring but was once again the centre of a cheating controversy at Monaco.
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 Team driver Lewis Hamilton believes that the Red Bull Racing car is superieur over the contenders of the rival teams. The youngster said in the British media that the Milton Keynes-based outfit already had the most downforce in 2009 and that they have maintained this advantage into the new season.

Karun Chandhok admits his Formula One debut was tougher than he had expected, largely due to his lack of running.
With Hispania Racing failing to take part in pre-season testing, Friday's practices were vital for the team. However, Chandhok failed to even leave the pits throughout the entire 180 minutes of running.
Dennis suspects Vettel ran out of fuel in Bahrain E-mail
Mar.21 (GMM) Ron Dennis has been quoted as questioning Red Bull's claim that Sebastian Vettel suffered a spark plug failure whilst leading the 2010 season opener in Bahrain last weekend.
Initially after the 22-year-old pole sitter gave up the lead of the race to the eventual three podium-getters, Red Bull diagnosed an exhaust problem.
A subsequent media statement clarified that it was actually a spark plug problem within the Renault engine that was the matter, but Spain's AS newspaper reported last week that Vettel simply slowed to prevent running out of fuel.

Mark Webber believes Nico Rosberg will get the better of his more illustrious team-mate Michael Schumacher at Mercedes GP this year.
Round one of the 2010 Championship went to Rosberg in Bahrain after he qualified and finished ahead of his German compatriot.
Red Bull driver Webber expects the battle between the two will be very close, but he doesn't think Schumi will beat Rosberg.
"It depends what you mean by competitive because he was competitive in Bahrain. Is him winning by 60 seconds like he used to in the past competitive?" Webber told the BBC..
"Winning by those sorts of margins will be tough for Schumacher this season but, yes, he will be competitive. Whether he can be as dominant as he was in the past will be another subject.
Three-time champion Niki Lauda is confident Michael Schumacher will be back at his very best by the time the F1 circus reaches Malaysia for the third round of the season.
