Former Renault Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore has had his lifetime ban from motorsport overturned.
The Italian was banned by the sport's governing body, the FIA, for his part in Nelson Piquet Jr's deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
The French high court overturned the ban and awarded Briatore £13,500 in compensation. The judge said: "The court ruled the sanction was illegal."
The BBC understands the FIA will launch an appeal against the decision.
