Briatore underwent heart surgery, 'prevention is fundamental' - last minute. "I had a benign mass which was removed with a minimally invasive operation, using an endoscopic technique" he himself wrote on social media.

"The surgery was a perfect success, and I warmly thank Prof. Francesco Maisano, the Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Team and the legendary 1st Q Department of SanRaffaele," Briatore said. "Medical prevention is essential!"
