Just ask Peter Sauber or Beat Zehnder, how the Jost Capito stage at Sauber has been, back then.
Only time will tell, but it doesn't seem that Boullier did not achieve something, and with a rather restricted budget, that is.
https://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2016/01/ ... r-mclaren/He subsequently moved to Ford, where he stayed for a decade and where he was responsible for pushing through development of the Focus Mk1 RS, which in its WRC form took the World Rally Championship manufacturers' crown in 2006 and 2007
Capito joined Volkswagen in May 2012. During his time there, Volkswagen dominated in the WRC, winning a hat-trick of both Drivers and Constructors Championships
and really, the Sauber / Zehnder Sauber stage in 1996? You are talking about the errorsome Zetec-R V10 engine?
Why signing Jost Capito as new F1 boss is the right move for McLaren
Capito is 57 years old and has been around the block in motorsport; his current stint at Volkswagen since 2011 proving hugely successful in World Rallying, where the team is serial world champion. He worked in F1 as head of Ford in the days when it powered Jordan GP and also had a stint at Sauber in the late 1990s.
In his early career he worked with the legendary BMW engineer Paul Rosche, then moved to Porsche where he headed the motorsport department, before switching to Sauber.
his reputation and career highlights will carry weight with Honda. Communication between Honda and McLaren has been challenging, largely as they worked to align their expectations.
His presence will also add a layer of protection for Eric Boullier the race team boss, to get on with his job and focus on the team and its engineers to make the progress that is desperately needed. He will still have extensive dealings with Honda, but Capito will provide an extra buffer, a man who speaks their language, so to speak.
Capito also has an excellent relationship with the FIA in the back corridors of the sport.

After all, the MP4 designation came from Ron Dennis' Project 4 Racing, his F2 and F3 racing team back then in 1981, resulting in McLaren Project Four.
In other words, with Dennis having been doublecrossed, i'm dubious he's going to accept that it's going to stay a MP4-designated car.
Meaning, we could see a Mclaren MF1/17 or something like that.
sorry if it seems that way, i'm not agitated.Abarth wrote:Wow. Chill.Manoah2u wrote:[[...]and really, the Sauber / Zehnder Sauber stage in 1996? You are talking about the errorsome Zetec-R V10 engine?

You didn't get my comment. It had nothing to do with the results.
About 15+ years ago, I learned how Peter Sauber and beat Zehnder thought of Capito. (It was when it was announced that he was going to Ford).
Sorry too long ago, and I can't bring any evidence in form of a link.
And an advice: Don't take all these F1 things too serious. It steals you time and shortens your life, as it really seems that you are agitated.
It's not the first time Ron Dennis has been ousted from McLaren (remember that little Stepneygate matter?), and in those years the cars were still called MP4-something...Manoah2u wrote:Anyway, as for the 2017 contender, do people realise that there's a 90% certainty that they will NO LONGER be called MP4-XX ??

it's of nobody's business and i am the LAST person on earth that is waiting for anybody's 'approval',
anybody's 'care' or anybody's 'comfort', and it is even less your business, but for the sake of your rather
insulting bluntness and inaprropriate response, i'll let you know that at the very moment I am fighting
thyroid cancer and getting treatments for it. How the effin ef i then spend my off time and recovery time
is completely up to me, so how about you put a sock in it and think about that for a moment.
yes this comment has agrovated me deeply, for real.
Perhaps you should take example of people that really are 'fans' of the sport and who don't solely take a armchair
approach but actually like to participate in a community of assumed like-minded people and bring something
worthwile, like LookBackTime for example is rather active in the Williams thread, which i assume is down to him
being a great fan of Williams. You should appreciate that there are people out there bringing news and information
to the table in a organised matter so it's easier to 'binge' on the matter has one the desire for such.
And lastly, does it really matter if one is 'rich' enough that he doesn't need to be a slave of society to fill tax pockets?
Or that somebody works their behind to the bone like a slave and when he's done his work, has his darn civil right
to do what he/she likes to do? And likewise should someone be bored all day, or rather have fun on a F1 forum,
or would you rather see them vandalise your neighbourhood so you have another thing to complain about?
really, what the hell.
end of rant.
i've spit it out.
done.
thank you.
you're apologizing for the wrong thing. the point isn't that he's ill.GoranF1 wrote:i didnt know you are sick so i apologize.
