Stoddart (Wolff) to Williams - Bernie makes another stupid comment
Susie Wolff (was Stoddart), British DTM driver is joining as a tester to Wiliams (also married to Williams shareholder Toto Wolff).
Susie Wolff joins Williams as development driver - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com
Whilst this is interesting and nice for Susie, Icouldn't get past Bernies quote in the article, which if it weren't for the crap he's been spouting about Bahrain lately would probably have been of greater interest
"If Susie is as quick in a car as she looks good out of a car then she will be a massive asset to any team and on top of that she is very intelligent. I am really looking forward to having her in Formula 1."
what a prick this man is"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Nothing wrong with those comments from Bernie.
I fail to see a one dimensional description of Susie Stoddart.
We live in a society where image is everything and sex sells, perhaps more so in motorsports; just as the name Senna is supposed to be good for F1,(IMO) stupid Lotus retro liveries and not to mention the obvious - grid girls.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Do you think that is an appropriate comment?“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti

In my workplace/industry a comment like that from senior management personnel is grounds for dismissal.“If everything's under control, you're going too slow.” Mario Andretti
