Jost Capito actually was the man i had confidence in and hope in to achieve something at Mclaren. I think he was the perfect man for the job.
What a mess, so shortly appointed - if he ever got to the stage of being appointed - and already gone. hope his career doesn't recieve a major blow from this.

He's not the first person to leave Woking before the paint's dry on his parking space.

Obviously he was Ron's hire, and the resources/working style he was promised are not going to materialise. It's hardly efficient, but it's not unexpected that the old guy's people get moved out.

Maybe he will move with Ron :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just had a chat with someone working in MCL. The new cars are there but the internal windows are covered until launch, so people making any claims must be really really close and those probably are not going to state anything.
