"He is an intelligent, capable man who has good ideas.
That doesn't mean that everything he suggests is perfect but I am in agreement
with his most important points."
Renault are a founder member of the manufacturer grouping plotting the rival
series but Briatore said all parties in Formula One needed to get together as
soon as possible.
"There is no war in Formula One, and there won't be," he added, suggesting
that the FIA, commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone and the teams could work out
a deal to move forward without the banks that now control the commercial rights.
"We are looking for a compromise with the FIA and Ecclestone," said Briatore.
"We don't have a problem with Bernie nor with Max or the FIA. We simply need to
restructure everything in a sensible fashion."
The FIA then published a note, relating to previously proposed 2008
regulations, which many saw as another U-turn in taking a softer line on
technology.
While the world body said it was responding to the opinions of fans, after a
survey highlighted the importance of technology to them, the letter was also an
olive branch to teams and manufacturers resistant to any 'dumbing down'.
The general tone was far more conciliatory than that of
previous missives.
