If you are in the top 50 worldwide in your chosen path/career, you could never be 'overrated'.
He is being judged against his peers and compared to the media hoopla that he puts out.

99.9999999% of the world population are not F1 designers/ managers, so that comparison is irrelevant.

He's a Technical Director or at least he was one and had been an undistinguished one since 2003.

I have no opinion here, but in defence of the OP, it's like saying we can't criticise Felipe Massa, Esteban Gutierrez or Pastor Maldonado just because we couldn't do as good a job as him.

Even Peter Mallett would admit Maldonado is a better driver than him (at a stretch).

awrb should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the thing here is that he is a member of a large team, so we really do not know what exactly he did, and can't really attribute any failures to him. For example someone mentioned Toyotas driver line up, but was it gascoyne who single handedly made this decision? I'd imagine not.

It's different to criticising a driver. We know what they do, and our speculation is part of being a sports person. As an engineer, I certainly wouldn't like people speculating about my worth in my career online.
