Busy November for the future FIA president - Jean Todt or Ari Vatanen will have to face the hearing of Flavio Briatore by The Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris and the lawsuit engaged by MSC (N.Technology) for favoritism in the selection process of the new F1 teams.


Regarding the former Renault team boss, the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris has set November 24 as the date to hear Flavio Briatore's case against the FIA.

In the wake of the crash-gate affair, former Renault boss Briatore, 59, is seeking up to a million euros in damages plus the cancellation of his lifetime exclusion from motor racing.

Wire reports said the Italian's lawyers addressed the court on Monday, and were granted a future hearing by the judge. French carmaker Renault's F1 team, as well as the sport's governing body, have not commented on Briatore's legal action.


Regarding N.Technology, the court outcome of the lawsuit brought by MSC is planned for November 10.
MSC, head office of N.Technology, don't trust the FIA for the selection process of the new teams, supporting the candidates including a Cosworth engine.


The new president of the FIA will be known this Friday, October 23. Max Mosley's successor, Jean Todt or Ari Vatanen, will start his mandate amid legal actions
