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

If anyone knows if it is Peter Warr standing behind Mike Spence in this picture let me know..
Don't think so, but it's certainly Chunky far left.

Great photo and certainly much appreciated :up: Thanks to henners88Snr :)

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.
