Stop blaming Chad Hurley. He's an investor and not a CEO or a manager. The worst thing he could possibly have done, and the worst thing any investor can do, is to micromanage. The fact that he has had to do that just shows the incompetence he's dealing with.
1. He either is a full active share holder who is involved with the business plan in which case it was seriously up to him to help Windsor get other sponsors or put up finance to reach the grid.
No. Chad would have been one investor, albeit a major one. Peter is, or was, the one running the team and it was his job to ensure he had the right finance up front and it was Ken's job to identify what was needed and to tell Peter so he could plan ahead. Shareholders and investors do not do what you describe. If something is needed then it is those running the operation that need to initiate contact.
Hurley obviously wants to play an active role as an investor and team owner in F1 or he would not continue to look for ways to use the USF1 ticket.
I cannot fathom why you want to protect Peter and Ken from the criticism they deserve. It is not Chad Hurley's job to micromanage the operation. All he's doing now is sensibly trying to realign his investment and have some chance of recouping it at a later date. Just because Peter and Ken seem to have disappeared (par for the course) and Chad is the only one who really seems to care about salvaging something then you think you can blame Chad because he seems to be more heavily involved now?
To me that suggests he really was in it in an active way but deserted the game in the middle.
I think we're way, way, way, way, way, way past the middle now given that the team is well over a year old, don't you think?
