Why was he even hired? I never understood that.

Yep, he was seen as Dennis' man, hence he was ousted

[Mansell89]

I actually think Capito was brought in to allow Ron to focus on the McLaren technology group and I genuinely think that McLaren may be calling this badly wrong.

Ron made bold ass calls these past couple of years with Honda but they will come good and proven correct if they stick with it.

Dennis gone, Capito gone. It should be Tim Goss next but knowing McLaren it will be Prodromou!

Ron said "the VW rally team seems pretty good, let's throw some money at their top guy. Oh really? I wasn't aware rallying has nothing to do with f1. Hire him anyways. He's good at beating teams with one eighth of his budget."

And that's how it all went down.

[kasio]

Damn.
All my hopes were no Capito.
Unfortunately Boulier isn't a man who can make this team great again.

[GoranF1]

Boulier is doing a good job...as good as any other would.

[Thunder]

Well maybe he gets the open Seat as Group CEO.

And yet it worked for Todt and Ferrari...

No.

Do we need this discussion in 2 threads?

Boulier mouthing off again
"http://en.f1i.com/news/84983-mclaren-we ... ngine.html"

"We work as one team with Honda to achieve what we want.”
How can you work as "one" when you are constantly humiliating your Engine partner with unrealistic claims?

[Wazari]

He is right. He said McLaren would have won if they had the best engine, not Mercedes engine. If Honda had 100 + HP over the Mercedes PU, then McLaren would have won. On the other hand, he could have also said, if we had the best chassis this year, we would have won. I have no words on why he has to say these things. Then people wonder why Arai-san and EB didn't get along and why Hasegawa-san just tolerates him.

[diffuser]

yep, I agree. I don't understand why he feels the need to be divisive.

[mrluke]

I cant wait for Honda to supply a second team..
