He didnt have the balls along with Anderson to address either his own staff and the wider media and fans in order to give a full explanation on what happened/is happening with the team and here he is working at the Oz GP interviewing the Williams drivers at a media event as if nothing ever happened

Shameful!

I'm suprised he's got the nerve to show his face after the farce that was (nearly) USF1. What a .

(As an aside, are ClaireVWilliams and MikeGascoyne the best part of Twitter? )

Man sees his new business fail, goes back to old job. Whatever next?

Isn't it more like: "Man makes an utter and predictable pig's ear of his new business, ruining the livelihood of dozens of employees who he is then too cowardly to talk to face-to-face, then rubs their face in it by taking a cushy little corporate engagement with a sympathetic team"?

Still, he's grown a pair now. He must be a laughing stock in that paddock, and deservedly so, so fair play for showing his face.

Notice how even ex-Autosport/paddock pass hacks have kept schtum on USF1 for quite a while.

Times like this that I can't wait what Pitpass makes of it all.

Claire rocks!!!!

What's he supposed to do, commit hari kari?

He took a chance that few -- if any -- of us will ever take, and it didn't pan out. It's unfortunate, but that's life. I feel bad for the people who worked to try to get this project & hope they land on their feet, like he did.

Of course, the optimist in me hopes he sees this as an opportunity to start over more intelligently

[simmons latex mattress]

So someone still dared to hire him after the USF1 fiasco?

Harakiri would be much more appropriate IMO.

I have nothing against someone, as BBB says, merely returning to an old job after a business failure. But in this case Windsor has surely lost too much credibility for him to perform that old job. As a journalist, he needs to be able to criticise when necessary. How can he do so after what happened with USF1?

It'll be interesting to see how he handles that, indeed. Hopefully, he'll manage to avoid "Do as I say & not as I did" and "Pot calling the kettle black" comments.

Notice his first port of call was Williams.

He's got journo chums like Adam Cooper, Simon Arron and James Allen to look out after him.

Oh please. CEO's run companies into the ground and jump from one failed company and 7 figure salary to the other all the time.

To be honest, it's a little unfair to pin this whole fiasco on Windsor.

Anderson is the one to lay the majority of the blame on the way I've seen it. He was doing exactly what I expected he would have been. He was teh F1 insider and journalist that was supposed to be the face of the team. THe problems were with the progress of teh design and construction. I'm sure he's far from blameless, but he was also far from alone in that venture.

A very fair point, I must say. But, as I stated earlier, I still feel it must be difficult for him to perform a journalistic role now.

True but Windsor bares some responsiblity. Running with Anderson he must've known what he was getting into.

And to be fair he wanted an honest opinion from the shop floor, I give him that.

[resegooredo]

Funny, but I would have thought the FBI would be looking for him and Ken by now....

[RuttyUttepe]

From a BBC online producer:

@sarahholtf1 Bumped into US F1 boss Peter Windsor & he said he would submit an entry again in 2013 - but walked away before I knew whether he was joking

I hope he was.

[simmons latex mattress]

Well, Windsor has been lying so much in recent months that I think it is embarrassing for anyone to still wanting to deal with him. Peter even didn't have the balls to tell his employees that his business is dead and opted for "mysterious disappearance". What a disgrace.

[Immusaatmonna]

I'm pretty sure the fiasco wasn't Windsor's fault, blame it on the other guy. I don't get it, he's got to make a living and "media role" is his job. Talking about lying, if you're team doesn't have money, it's not very useful to say it out loud.
