Rueda was one of his yes men.

If you pay close attention to the press release, it makes it very clear that Rueda will *not* be responsible for race strategy. Instead, he'll be taking up Beat Zehender's role (FIA Liason).

I don't think my issue with Rueda has to do with strategy decisions per se, more so with lack of improvement over time, in fact got worse over time. That's a sign of a bad manager/leader and that usually doesn't depend on the task at hand.

Carys Conlon Lead Engineer Wings and Nose (Aston Martin) -> Team Leader, Gearbox (Sauber / Audi).

Interesting that it went from Lead Engineer Wings and Nose to Gearbox team leader. Aren't those two positions drastically different?

I really thought the same, in the past she had to do with composite design which we also have involved with the gearbox.

Well too many sacrifices in the name of the show, this is what happens when you dance to the tune of other.

Atleast he cleaned up the track limit rules, if nothing else.
