Briatore said in a statement on Sunday that he will present his case to a Paris court on Monday.

He was indefinitely banned last month for organizing driver Nelson Piquet Jr.'s crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. That allowed teammate Fernando Alonso to win the race.

Briatore says the World Motor Sport Council's ban on him "is a legal absurdity."

He says he is confident French courts will overturn the ban.
