    I’m sorry, but Otmar was one of the least charismatic personalities I’ve ever heard speak. Not very sure of his leadership capabilities, but the results are grim.

      I’m not sure charisma is what is needed to succeed in F1.

        Fair, but a good team boss either has Charisma or leadership skills, or both (Like Toto or Horner). I don’t feel like Otmar left a lasting impression on anyone that worked with him
