so much movement at JAG in such a small time . not good for the team just when they look like they strat to make ground RAHAL takes off well another set back

. AS a BMW fan it makes no diff to me but I like JAG and I see them plus Benetton oops RENAULT making leaps and bounds in the near future but JAG should lead RENAULT .
they have a draw full of drives and a stong light revy motor and a good car but the team really doesn't help its self much .
I hope LAUDA does a better job than PROST?

Here's an idea for Jac and Wolfgang: If the F1 Jag team doesn't produce next year, turn it back over to Rahal and call it Lincoln -- a brand that needs the publicity more than Jaguar. They can hype it as the "American" Formula 1 team.

Sounds like the reality is that Lauda was really the CEO, not Rahal! Since when does a CEO need permission to run a company his way?

As far as I know, Lauda was indeed CEO of the Premier Performance Division. If Jaguar Racing is part of the Premier Performance Division, this means Rahal was his subordinate.
I don't know what Rahals exact title was, but it probably was something like Managing Director or Sector Director, rather than CEO.

Probably since 400 years, when the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie was founded with the money of share holders.
In the end, the owners are always more powerful than the managers.

Bussiness as usual.

No matter if it's F1 or selling fish !!!

I read that the team has hired a new PR head, let's hope that whoever he or she is will be the spokeman/woman for the team, not (Loud)a.
