Not entirely precedent-setting.
Svetlana Strelnikova was a GP2 team manager,
Lauren Hanssen managed the Belgian GT racing team,
Leena Gade supervised two Audi Le mans wins,

But some think only Hamilton and Vettel are 'qujalified' to lead a team, on the dubious grounds that they drive fast?

What specific expertise do you believe Susie bring to motor racing?
She's not an engineer or designer, she's never run a business, she
wasn't an outstanding driver. She does have pots of dosh. She does some
work TV for Ch4 F1, but like the EJiot, it's probably because of her
access to some inside info.

Few, if any, F1 drivers have had any success running a team. Jackie
Stewart couldn't keep it up, Prost & Lauda were disasters. Graham Hill
was struggling. Gerhard Berger dipped in and out of Toro Rosso.

Michael Andretti was a very well respected driver
and team owner who has had a *stellar* career in
American open wheel racing. The statement was:
"Few, if any, F1 drivers have had any success
running a team".

F1 attempts to embarrass an American was successful
only to the those who don't know the whole story,
too dumb to begin to grasp the conspicuously obvious,
and lie about the truth of the matter.

Andretti is a footnote in F1. One of hundreds. He had a seat in a top
ranked team and it didn't work out. Other drivers have had that same
advantage, at the same team and have done very well. They've also
received no end of shit for it. Funny that.

And need I mention that not only did he win at Surfer's

being the pole sitter, led every lap on his way to that
win.

paying him plenty of money. Andretti might be a home boy. The facts
are in black and white - he didn't last a full season.

"Mansell's sorry ass" got onto the podium the same number of times that year

6 retirements (running the same ICE). I remember Andretti being rather
Verstappen-like during that year, as in 'do well or crash out' - as if he
had a lot to prove after his F1 sojourn.

Also it should be noted that Andretti was going back to a series and tracks
he'd raced on for a decade (in a new car that was obviously very competitive
as the result shows) whereas Mansell was only in his second year. Andretti
raced in CART for a total of 19 seasons for ONE championship win whereas
Mansell raced for just 2 seasons for the same number of championship
wins....

untested chassis, no less (providing Ganassi his

The previous season Mansell got into a (for him) unfamiliar car *and*
unfamiliar series on unfamiliar tracks and took the championship - something
that took Andretti 9 seasons to do (with all of the help his 'pedigree' and
contacts afforded him) and he never managed it again despite trying 10 more
times.

See above. Oh and btw, Mansell finished 8th, Michael 4th.

while Andretti had
6 retirements (running the same ICE).
With a new team, driving a new chassis to boot.
Post by ~misfit~
I remember Andretti being rather
Verstappen-like during that year, as in 'do well or crash out' - as if he
had a lot to prove after his F1 sojourn.
He no longer had anything to prove in Indycar, to
quote Derek Daly, he was a major star there. MA's
career was never that of an MV, he didn't constantly
hit his competitors nor was he accused of doing so.
Post by ~misfit~
Also it should be noted that Andretti was going back to a series and tracks
he'd raced on for a decade
Mansell was familiar with Surfers Paradise.
Post by ~misfit~
(in a new car that was obviously very competitive
as the result shows)
Again, see above.
Post by ~misfit~
whereas Mansell was only in his second year.
Second and last. Probably couldn't withstand the
embarrassment of getting handily beaten, first
time out, by that "failed F1 driver" driving for
a new untested team in a new untested car. :)
Post by ~misfit~
Andretti
raced in CART for a total of 19 seasons for ONE championship win whereas
Mansell raced for just 2 seasons for the same number of championship
wins....
See below.

Post by Heron
untested chassis, no less (providing Ganassi his
first win), in the first race of the season.
The previous season Mansell got into a (for him) unfamiliar car *and*
unfamiliar series on unfamiliar tracks and took the championship - something
that took Andretti 9 seasons to do
Not with that car it didn't. How many years did it
take NM to win his one and only F1 crown? Where does
he stack up with his contemporaries for F1 wins?
Post by ~misfit~
(with all of the help his 'pedigree' and
contacts afforded him) and he never managed it again despite trying 10 more
times.
Nor did Mansell in F1. Just like his championship winning
Williams, he was gifted a Newman-Haas championship
car that the Andretti father and son team had developed
and won with. After the second season of that gift,
Michael finished 4th in the new Ganassi car, Mansell
finished 8th in the Newman Haas championship car,
tucked tail and left.

You
either don't know what you're talking about, or
enjoy failed, intentional attempts at deception.
It's obvious that you have feelings for Andretti. (Not that there's anything
wrong with that....)
Why are there always new charges while ignoring or
failing to address the proven to be false claims
previously made? I have respect for the truth,
irrespective of the setting.

Here's a sketch that epitomizes the truthiness spouted here recently.

She's not an engineer or designer, she's never run a business, she

access to some inside info.

F1 attempts to embarrass an American was successful
only to the those who don't know the whole story,
too dumb to begin to grasp the conspicuously obvious,
and lie about the truth of the matter.
Andretti is a footnote in F1. One of hundreds. He had a seat in a top
ranked team and it didn't work out. Other drivers have had that same
advantage, at the same team and have done very well. They've also
received no end of shit for it. Funny that.
IIRC it was felt at the time that Michael’s lack of success was partly due
to lack of total commitment - i.e. he tried to commute from the USA. Also,
and this may sound silly now, his rather strident wife was not popular.
Wives and girlfriends were more involved then and could be very cliquey.

Dragging out what his son said is irrevant.

As for RD wanting to see Andretti fail and sabotaged the car, that's
complete and utter bollocks. No race mechanic is going to send a car
out on track, knowing it will fail. Why bother when Andretti was likely
to crash into his mate Karl Wendlinger at the first opportunity.

Andretti has been asked about his time at McLaren, he refuses to
answer. His side of events appear to have been pulled out of

Oh care to explain "they had Mika Hakkinen ready to come in for a

completely disagree with someone who said the same as his son is

"Again, you don't know what you're talking about with respect to
Michael's remuneration" was the response to "despite paying him
plenty of money". There is no contradiction. I hear Alonso's

Not entirely precedent-setting.
Svetlana Strelnikova was a GP2 team manager,
Lauren Hanssen managed the Belgian GT racing team,
Leena Gade supervised two Audi Le mans wins,
But some think only Hamilton and Vettel are 'qujalified' to lead a
team, on the dubious grounds that they drive fast?
What specific expertise do you believe Susie bring to motor racing?
She's not an engineer or designer, she's never run a business, she
wasn't an outstanding driver.  She does have pots of dosh. She does some
work TV for Ch4 F1, but like the EJiot, it's probably because of her
access to some inside info.
Few, if any, F1 drivers have had any success running a team.
Michael Andretti and Roger Penske, former F1 drivers,
have had *lots* of success running multiple teams.
Successful team managers they might have been,
Might?

Penske - 2 F1 races in two years
Andretti - fired during his only (underwhelming) F1 season

and team owner who has had a *stellar* career in
"Few, if any, F1 drivers have had any success
running a team".
2 out of 800+ F1 drivers is few in any book.
Post by Heron
F1 attempts to embarrass an American was successful
only to the those who don't know the whole story,
too dumb to begin to grasp the conspicuously obvious,
and lie about the truth of the matter.
Andretti is a footnote in F1. One of hundreds. He had a seat in a top
ranked team and it didn't work out. Other drivers have had that same
advantage, at the same team and have done very well. They've also
received no end of shit for it. Funny that.
IIRC it was felt at the time that Michael’s lack of success was partly due
to lack of total commitment - i.e. he tried to commute from the USA.
His father did it, and won! Mario, of course, wasn't
sabotaged though.
Or perhaps he was just a better driver?
Michael Andretti has for decades held the record
for most wins among his generation of American
Open Wheel peers. Only predecessors Mario Andretti
and A.J. Foyt had more, and although the latter
also competed in the series, he never won so much
as a single C.A.R.T. race.

hardly a surprise
Regardless of the environment Managing & doing are two different skills
often someone who is excellent at a particular job does not make a good
manager because they find it difficult to keep their hands off & delegate
& sometimes people who are only average (or worse) at the job make
excellent managers because although they don't have the skills they do
understand the principles & can see the skills in others.
