Gascoyne on the market!

"I don't think that F1 is still out of my life", underlined the man who was also the technical director of Tyrrell, Renault et Toyota. « Ces dernières saisons ont été assez difficiles et je n?aimerais pas que ma carrière en F1 se termine de la sorte. Je suis aujourd?hui probablement plus motivé que lorsque j?ai quitté Toyota. Je veux partir sur une note positive ! Je ne désire pas mon nom en haut de l?affiche. Avec l?âge, l?ego perd de son importance et vous ne ressentez plus le besoin d?être le type en vue. Je vais attendre et voir ce qui se présente. »

So, Gascoyne would happily see himself in a consulting role for a team if no full-time job was available. “Some teams seem to be struggling with the new aerodynamic rules, an area in which I have done quite well in the past. A role as an advisor or consultant to help the guys in place would not displease me! »
