The League discussed its fit and proper persons test, which Briatore appears to contravene having been banned "from involvement in the administration of a sport by a sports governing body or such other similar forms of disqualification".

In a statement, the League revealed they will await a response from the Italian millionaire before deciding his fate.

The League's statement read: "The Board conducted a comprehensive review of the situation, including the receipt of advice from leading counsel.

"After considering all the information presently available to it and in the interest of due process, the Board will seek responses from Mr Briatore before commenting further."
