Rahal is reportedly out of Jaguar. Niki Lauda is a pile of pants. That guy's ego has really gotten the best of him. Why on earth did Ford hire him to lord over Rahal just months after giving Rahal the CEO job? I'm sure Rahal will come out of this experience just fine, but I'm not sure Jaguar's F1 team will. Lauda has a terrible record when running teams.
speedvision now confirms it
what a crock. what a way to treat the U.S fans, whose only connection to F1 was bobby rahal. I used to feel that I should pull for jaguar with the ford- rahal connection, plus the AT&T sponsorship.
now they can forget having me as a fan.
It's a brand new day.
I'm afraid Rahal shot himself in the foot - well, both feet really! After the Adrian Newey farce he apparently also tried to sell Eddie Irvine's contract without telling Lauda. Here's a link to the Autosport report - a bit sanitised I think! I can't believe the "entirely amicable" bit:

Rahal is such a class guy that I think he keeps everything fairly amicable, even when he's obviously being screwed in the tuckus. Lauda is a complete idiot.Originally posted by Vitesse:
