It'll be interesting to see what they achieve next year as a result. |

Agreed - that should improve their performance. I really have never understood why Sam Michael appears to be so highly rated in F1. He seems to have delivered a decrease in performance for the teams he's been at.

You do have to wonder though.. if the structures put into place by Mr Michael survive his departure.. whether his presence stifled 'creativity' or something similar, which impacted performance The hope from down here is that he is headed to 888 to run a couple of V8Supercars for Red Bull |
