It´s a always good sign when technical director retire...

My thoughts exactly, not the kind of material who one would expect to explore new areas and find an edge. Tried and proven solutions which also mean slow and unexciting.

I wonder why the change took place, did Nandan drive for solutions that were unacceptable for Suzuki (Japanese are notoriously difficult to work with in this respect), is team's funding in shambles (as has been suggested) or was he just an advisor and this was a planned move from the start?

AFAIK Nandan was the person the team was being built around and was expected to be there for three years at least. He made some veiled comments recently, to I believe MN, which appeared to criticise the team and car. It is very strange as Nandan was responsible for the location in France for the team. Should know reason soon as contract I think is up this month.

Nandans contract finished 31st Dec 07.
