It'll be interesting to see how he handles that, indeed. Hopefully, he'll manage to avoid "Do as I say & not as I did" and "Pot calling the kettle black" comments.

Notice his first port of call was Williams.

He's got journo chums like Adam Cooper, Simon Arron and James Allen to look out after him.

Oh please. CEO's run companies into the ground and jump from one failed company and 7 figure salary to the other all the time.

To be honest, it's a little unfair to pin this whole fiasco on Windsor.

Anderson is the one to lay the majority of the blame on the way I've seen it. He was doing exactly what I expected he would have been. He was teh F1 insider and journalist that was supposed to be the face of the team. THe problems were with the progress of teh design and construction. I'm sure he's far from blameless, but he was also far from alone in that venture.

A very fair point, I must say. But, as I stated earlier, I still feel it must be difficult for him to perform a journalistic role now.

True but Windsor bares some responsiblity. Running with Anderson he must've known what he was getting into.

And to be fair he wanted an honest opinion from the shop floor, I give him that.

Funny, but I would have thought the FBI would be looking for him and Ken by now....

From a BBC online producer:

@sarahholtf1 Bumped into US F1 boss Peter Windsor & he said he would submit an entry again in 2013 - but walked away before I knew whether he was joking

I hope he was.

Well, Windsor has been lying so much in recent months that I think it is embarrassing for anyone to still wanting to deal with him. Peter even didn't have the balls to tell his employees that his business is dead and opted for "mysterious disappearance". What a disgrace.

I'm pretty sure the fiasco wasn't Windsor's fault, blame it on the other guy. I don't get it, he's got to make a living and "media role" is his job. Talking about lying, if you're team doesn't have money, it's not very useful to say it out loud.
