Windsor: I'd try again with the right people

Peter Windsor, one half of the founding members behind the failed USF1 outfit, says he's come out the other side of the saga a better man, a man who'd try again if he found the correct group of people.

Windsor though, says he was oblivious to the fact it wasn't ever going to succeed, despite the fans and the media questioning the entry.

i do like his rose colored glasses

As much as it would be easy to be critical for their failure, having not sucessfully started an F1 team myself, I'll leave the bashing to those that have done such things. I would imagine it's not an easy task.

I just wish he would return to Speed in the meantime.

Windsor IS part of f1 and was for a long time - he is extremely astute and insightful and was a tremendous asset to the broadcast team both in the pre-race show and during the race.

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.

No need to bash when you can simply read what he had to say...anyone paying attention knows he was borderline making stuff up he entire time...

You don't have to be one of the handful of people who have ever started an F1 team to realise just how full of hot-air Windsor was (and apparently still is).

By your own self-imposed rule I assume you'll never again criticise a driver, seeing as how you yourself don't hold a superlicence?

He may have got himself a completely clueless and inept partner in Anderson but that's no excuse for his abject failure to manage the project in a resoponsible way, and for his refusal to admit even to himself that their were gaping holes in his plan.

Windsor may well have learned lessons from his experience, but I hope it's a very long time indeed before he dabbles in F1 again.

I which JV good luck with his plans.

**steveaki13** · 17th August 2010, 17:48

Please no....

Good luck to him. The more people that try the better. If they do fail spectacularly then we haven't lost anything*

*if the FIA ditch their franchise system and just open it up and let those who can, do, so nobody is squeezed out by any chancers.
