The organization dropped a major announcement Friday morning surrounding his role, signaling they're serious about building around a core that already pushed the league's elite to the brink last postseason.

The paddock is buzzing and Briatore is making sure nobody forgets it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
