F1 is well used to seeing some explosive moves in the driver market silly season, when shock events trigger a domino effect elsewhere. What is much rarer is for this kind of crazy merry-go-round to involve team principals to the extent it has this week:
are all the consequence of slightly different circumstances, there is one common theme that unites them: it's that in F1's cost cap era, the buck stops at the team boss like never before.
Those days are long gone now though. With the budget cap in place, F1 is no longer a spending competition where mistakes can be covered up with extra cash. In Jost Capito's case, Williams had not delivered on the progress that owner Dorilton Capital had anticipated under F1's new rules era, so the decision was taken not to continue with him and his tech signing FX Demaison.
Performance these days does not come from bringing a front wing upgrade at every race, because the money is simply not there under the tight budget ceiling to allow that to happen.You need to know where staffing levels and appointments should be best focused so that there is maximum bang for buck from every member of the organisation.You need to fully understand the rule and exemptions to guarantee that any spending is 100% aimed at driving car performance and not being wasted.
That is why team bosses also need to be motivators and help drive their troops forward. They need to ensure their workforce has total belief in what they are doing and the journey they are being taken on. As Seidl said at the Abu Dhabi GP:"That's why we have put in a lot of hard work, also together with the financial department, knowing that we are working in a cost cap environment as well, to find synergies and efficiencies within the current way how we do F1.
