Which F1 team boss allegedly said "Prat!", about his own driver in the mid 90s?

Gold star for the occasion.

Guess at Briatore or Eddie Jordan.

It's something they'd say.

Afraid not, but remember "allegedly" here.

Frank Williams, on one of the occasions that Hill t-boned Schumi ... just a wild guess ;)

EDIT : Possibly when Coulthard binned the car from Pole on the warm up lap.

That's it, the 1995 British GP! Legend has it that Frank was less than impressed by Hill's optimistic attempt at overtaking MS and went to the Benetton garage after the race to apologize to Briatore, imagine that, while referring to his driver as a "prat".

This was later denied of course.

Your go grid!

I thought that sounded like Frank : he's always one to call a spade a spade ;)

Ok, this question is going to be a fairly obscure one. If nobody gets this by Monday then I'm going to post a new one ...

What is the connection between Formula One and the animated spy comedy series "Archer"?

Note : this does not include episode 11 of season 2, which features animation overlaid on footage of the 1966 Monaco grand prix.

Bit too obscure that one mate.... much more than fairly obscure.

Jessica Walter might be the connection through her role in "Grand Prix."

Gotta keep the thread alive, who said this?

Uncharacteristic simplicity from Ron Dennis.

Ordinarily, it would be something like: "John's physiological composition is unique; his neural development, both in terms of its capacity and its efficiency, have rendered his ability to construct thoughts, analyze data and arrive at logical conclusions quite exceptional when compared with the population at-large."

"Delighted."

The quote was from 1984 however, before Ron turned Stuttgart-wise, creating xpressions such as you suggested.

Your go.

I'll concede the honor to someone more qualified, as I'm not really all that smart.

Had I not been merely digging for a cheap laugh with the "Ronspeak" parody, I wouldn't have answered the question.

Who said this about his 1992 racer; "Good little car this, it's just a bit on the slow side"?
