That was a dumb joke. Paddy is loving terrible but acting like the situation at Williams was his fault and not the cumulative result of 20 years of lovely organizational leadership is stupid.

She does seem nice.

Also way out of her depth and placed into a role that she should've worked her way up to rather than being a victim of familial nepotism.

Marketing Director to Team Principal makes gently caress all sense.

It would’ve made sense if she could pull in the budget and put the right people in place. Bernie knew gently caress all about the technical side of things and Brabham achieved far more than it had any right to with its resources because he got the right people in and ran the team right.

Jonathan handles all the heritage stuff, but occasionally he wanders around the offices looking lost.

The other one (can't even remember his name) I didn't even know existed until he appeared on some documentary last year.

Sounds like a helluva organisation, are you hiring any finance people? I’m in the market.

Blaming Claire for everything wrong at Williams isn't fair, I'm not sure anything less than the most competent of people in her role could excel.
Frank obviously has one foot wheel in the team still. Or, has until much too recently.

I wonder how much of the issue is Claire versus how much is Frank looming over everything.

I once worked at a company where the owner/CEO retired and they hired a new CEO. However the old CEO was always looking over his shoulder and undermining his decisions. The new CEO left after about a year. He was tired of the bullshit.

I wonder if part of the problem is that Frank has veto power and he still thinks it's 1997.

I'm currently reading Adrian Newey's book and just read through his time at Williams. Even though Frank and Patrick Head said that Newey would have equal rights like the both of them, they still made decisions behind his back. Doesn't surprise me that Frank won't let go of the reins

Italy is generally a pretty cool and good country, delicious food, friendly people, fantastic art and architecture. Would be an A-tier country were it not for the 3 blights on the world it is partly or wholly responsible for, The Mafia, Fascism and Pube-Diarrhoea Failrrari.

As it is, B-Minus country, pretty deece not as good as Britain.

The South Americans in question attacked a bunch of innocent sheep farmers for no reason, they deserved to have the gently caress bombed out of them. Her needless defence cuts emboldened those nazi harbouring fucks to attack, but once they did her reaction was fair. I personally would have had no problem with her nuking Buenos Aires.

Agree with you on her domestic policy though we still haven't recovered from the insane bullshit she pulled with privatisation.
