The Mini project had potential. The problem was that it was mis-managed from the first day. I think the decision-makers got hung up on the romance of seeing Mini back in the WRC and made some pretty poor choices.

Problem of this project was Prodrive and their financial strategy...

Mismanagement again. I remember some stupid situations with Delecour car and his tires etc.

Their Formula 1 project from a few years ago bombed as well. I think they rode their success with the Impreza WRX for too long.
