Yeah I definitely heard that, I think I might have been the one who said it though.

Its based on as much fact as your speculation that it wont be a title winning car.

I admire Lewis his driving but not his idea of good taste... don't know if he allegedly called it a good looking car it is, it might just have "ham" written in gold on it...

So you are saying you know for sure that Alonso will be driving for Mercedes next year and the Bottas hype has just been a smokescreen!! :wink:

I hope so Mercedes needs the strongest line up, and if Mercedes are miles in front again the championship will still be interesting.

What is there to be amazed about?
Did James ever function at team principal level before? Can't remember that. I always saw him as just the technical guy who does the aerodynamics and wanted nothing of politc.. never seen him in a team principal conference before either.

Remember Mercedes has another step in their heirachy. Paddy was not a technical director as we knew it. There were many technical directors below Paddy, each prominent in their own right and capable enough to be TD of any other team.

http://desktop.motorsportmagazine.com/2 ... index.html
I wouldn't call Paddy's position at Mercedes team principle, that title is more suitable for Toto Wolff's position. Allison did at Ferrari what Paddy did at Mercedes. They were both responsable for the overall technical leadership and had authority over the individual departments and directors. Thus, Allison would be a great replacement based on experience. Also he is very highly rated, I can't understand why you would neglect his managerial experience.

I don't see how the article contradicts my statement. We probably have a different idea about the position that Lowe had within the team, as well as a different appriciation of James Allison in a managerial role.

Check back your first post. You said it made no sense to you, when I said that James allison is not experienced at Paddy's management level. So I directed to that article (written by highly regarded journalist on these issues) which clearly states that Paddy is a higher management level than James ever was.

But it is arguable as you say that shouls noy stop him from taking up paddy's position. Though i doubt it.
