Obvious Signs

The Kiwis winning the America's Cup was signalled from a long, long way back...

When Jean Todt took over the Ferrari Formula 1 team after a winless season in 1993, what he inherited was a ‘mess’ with the engine people blaming the chassis team and vice versa whilst public criticism abounded around their driving partnership of Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger. Even those two fell out. What Todt set out to mastermind was to be centred around a driver beyond reproach and moves were made to try and secure Ayrton Senna. Tragedy and fate ensured that didn’t happen so Todt cosied up to Michael Schumacher and arguably the greatest team in the sport up to that point was created.
