Why? He's just there.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 04:11Talking about Key... Has he made any statements? I don’t think he was interviewed or said anything after Bahrain (which was his first race), nor has he said anything for this Grand Prix... Have I just missed it? I would have expected him to take a more visible role by now.

It’s not about knowing the ins and outs... He is just a high level, highly publicized hiring that has had a lot of time to prepare to join the team... I’m just surprised that how it has been managed so far.Capharol wrote:hey some people expect that if you just joined the team 2-3 weeks ago, you know all the ins and outsRonDennis wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 11:21Why?

To be fair, Pat Fry didn't get much exposure after rejoining the team either. I haven't seen a single interview with him since. I guess for them the work at hand trumps any kind of PR. He'll be too busy getting up to speed, I imagine, and I'd rather they get on with it with as little exposure as possible. There's no need to treat it like it's the second coming.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 15:01It’s not about knowing the ins and outs...

You are right... for whatever reason I had Key in my mind playing a role like Gil for the team while Seidl would play a role like Zak for the Motorsport division of Mclaren.Ground Effect wrote:To be fair, Pat Fry didn't get much exposure after rejoining the team either.

i think Key will have final say in car design and will probably be the link between different engineering departments and drivers. im not exactly sure what all Gil does, but i was under the impression that hes been getting some help. as in, until Key arrived, his job has been taken up by more than one person, which may have been a necessity since idk if Gil has ever built an f1 car before.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑11 Apr 2019, 15:59You are right... for whatever reason I had Key in my mind playing a role like Gil for the team while Seidl would play a role like Zak for the Motorsport division of Mclaren.Ground Effect wrote:To be fair, Pat Fry didn't get much exposure after rejoining the team either.

Gil is Sporting Director, which is more about the management of the team on a race weekend, such as sorting flights, hotels, freight, overseeing garage and paddock personnel, and making sure the team are adhering to the rulebook at all times. He has no real input on the technical side. Unlike Key, he'll be a head technical role which will mostly be back at the factory working on improving the car, and perhaps oversee integration of big updates on race weekends. Two vastly separate roles.
