With so many people flocking to the team, do you think they could use somebody with a cracking to herd the cats?

Well, if they can only get mediocre drivers, they'll need someone to whip them in to shape during the race!

Ok - could you put a good word in for me if you get a job there?

i might try it on with the IT Manager positon.

would suck living in Norfolk tho

[zweiblumen]

I could apply for the PA to Technical Director position, I used to be a PA to a Wing Commander, that must surely be equivalent in rank to a Director? Plus I am seriously unemployed at the moment ... but I'm not commuting to Norfolk unless they pay me really good money.

Lotus boss plans to step down soon

By Jonathan Noble Friday, September 18th 2009, 08:26 GMT

Lotus team principal Tony Fernandes has no intention of remaining in his role for the long term, after revealing that he will stand down shortly after the 2010 season begins.

The Malaysian aviation entrepreneur has been named the boss of the new Lotus outfit, but wants to hand over responsibility to someone else within a matter of months.

"The team principal [position] is not something that is going to be permanent," he told news agency Reuters. "I am going to get it [the team] to a stage and then someone can do it full time, properly.

"My job is AirAsia and I just want to make sure that we [Lotus] have the right direction, the right imaging and the right future, the right strategic plan and marketing."

When asked for a time frame for him stepping down, he said: "I think up to about Melbourne, maybe. Maybe I'll enjoy being the team principal for a couple of races and I think then we'd move it on to someone else."

Lotus is expected to announce its two drivers at the end of October, and Fernandes has insisted that, despite the Malaysian support for the team, there was no need for it to run home grown talent.

Instead, he thinks the team's efforts would be best served by bringing on board an experienced F1 driver.

"My personal preference would be to try to get someone with lots of experience, even though he may be ending his career, who can add a lot of experience and develop the car," he added.

"Having the right personality that can transfer knowledge and enjoy working with people, I think is critical... there's no point throwing someone in at the deep end if he's not ready either."
