I presume that, never having been a politician, you have never yourself criticised the actions of a politician?

He wrote this on the 1st of Janurary:

And the first chassis – top, bottom and nose – sits upon the Bay Cast flat plate in the R&D shop; it looks gorgeous. Soon we will be fitting all the electrical components, spring/damper units and suspension arms; the front and rear wing main planes are nearly finished and over in California Kenny Hill and Gordon Kimble are not too far away from completing the first batches of axles, hubs and bearing clusters. The car grows, in other words, with every passing day. It draws you like a magnet, away from your desk, just for a few moments, again to see its line. Then you quickly walk over to the boys in the composite department, where they're laying-up another mold, or to the machine shop, where the guys are programming another front upright. Then the phone rings and you're back in your office, talking on speakerphone, watching out the window as yet another group of visitors pulls up and walks towards Reception. Some are fans, flying in on spec from places like Florida or Wisconsin; most are suppliers or contacts, keen to help and only too happy to play a role.

That pretty much says it all doesn't it? Let's call it like it is - the man is a liar.

The Speed f1 broadcast is significantly the poorer and his replacement is just dreadful. The Speed pre-race show used to be compelling viewing - it is now one to miss.

Such a pity.

Sorry but the lying was wht really killed his career. He has lost any credibility.

Christ, the guy is dumber than I thought..Well, not really, I think he has achieved the maximum "dumbness" humanly possible.

I would love to see windsor try again, only because seeing complete nutcases like him fail has always amused me.

Now you are being cruel :) :) :)

I'm not sure I'm ready to call him a liar. Until it is determined that he has a strong enough understanding of cars that he knew a mockup from a rolling chassis, then I am only comforatable in calling him stupid.

It's not like Windsor's new to F1, underneath all the bluster and bull he's actually quite experienced. So I expect he knew exactly what was in the factory yet chose to relay different information to the outside world.

And how would yuou call this: "And the first chassis – top, bottom and nose – sits upon the Bay Cast flat plate in the R&D shop; it looks gorgeous. Soon we will be fitting all the electrical components, spring/damper units and suspension arms; the front and rear wing main planes are nearly finished and over in California Kenny Hill and Gordon Kimble are not too far away from completing the first batches of axles, hubs and bearing clusters.

PS And that's just one of many other "creative" writings. And they are also available in video, as you may know
