    He was just about as much Lotus as Colin Chapman.
    I only talked to him 3 or 4 times.
    RIP

    Don't think so, but it's certainly Chunky far left.

    Most drivers hated him and his Hitler-esque management skills, Mansell in particular.

    Didn't he say something like: "Mansell will never win a race as long as hole in my anus"

    From what I gather Peter Warr never rated Mansell, who remained at post-Chapman Lotus at JPS's insistence, but "most drivers hated him"? Really?

    Well I know that the mechanics and some of the engineers didn't particularly like Warr.

    I'm sure I read somewhere Warr and De Angelis had frequent arguments and not just the question of parity with Mansell in 1984.
