Has anybody caught the feature in which Christian Horner is followed by a camera crew after the Italian GP?Fascinating piece I must say!(loved the part he was saying how Ricciardo charges all of his food and travel expenses on the team account-so these racing drivers aren't that different from the rest of us huh?)
It got me thinking,a TP scope of work is humongous.He must have racing knowledge,engineering know how,a financial background and marketing expertise (plus to be really successful,a grade A jack ass) all in one.
Is this where Mercedes are getting it wrong?It seems that Horner carries a lot of clout at Redbull and makes the major decisions up and down the RBR organization and with 8 world championships in the bag,it seems he has it right.
My question to Mercedes fans,would you accept Horner in the team?Do you think he would have a more streamlining effect on race operations and he doesn't seem to be caught up in pleasing every Tom,Dick and Harry in the paddock.
If I was in the Mercedes board,I would forget trying to get Adrian Newey,the car is a beast already,I would seriously consider dropping the three stooges and getting Horner on board.
Thoughts?
