Whether he succeeds or not, the hiring of Whitmarsh is a huge statement of intent, Aston Martin mean business. I believe if they slot him into the right role and give him enough freedom he'll do well.
Will be interesting to see where Aston are in the coming years and whether the current and future hirings end up bringing the success they hope for.

Mods can we change the title to Martin joins Aston?
Not the best move i think. Took Mclaren to its depths, lost Hamilton set up Honda and is a man Max Mosely described as being a detail man, but the wrong detail.
18 months and he is out!
Mosley was always making barbed comments about various people in F1, but without evidence and without justification. I would treat anything he said or wrote with caution; extreme caution is your find yourself believing it.Not the best move i think.

He also had a serious problem with McLaren. Every success they had hurt him deeply.

Far too political and far too focused on himself, A big part of setting McL into the decline which they are now starting to come out of.
He took his blinking time supposedly setting this decline up. Championships in ‘89, ‘90, ‘91, ‘98, ‘99 and ‘08….Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
