November 2013: Assessing/including Jarno Trulli's evaluation of Mike Gascoyne Comment[edit]

In a recent interview with Maurice Hamilton of the magazine F1 Racing, Jarno Trulli speaks about Mike Gascoyne. And while he's actually very positive on Mike, and defends him even now after Toyota F1 team flicked him, Trulli bluntly states that Gascoyne "is a fantastic organiser. But not much more than that." Excerpt:

MH: You mentioned Mike Gascoyne. He popped up a lot in your career. How did you rate him?

JT: If you understood how to manage Mike, you'd get the best out of him and he'd do a great job. But the mistake is to give him too much to do. You need to give him the job he is capable of doing – like organising an F1 team and making things happen. Give him the responsibility for all departments, and it is too much for him.

MH: Are you saying that Mike, being the bullish guy he is, couldn't be seen to say no when he should just have focused on what he was good at?

JT: Exactly. Mike will always tell you he can do it. You need to recognise what he is capable of doing because he has an extremely good character and great skill. He is a fantastic organiser. But not much more than that.

How to assess, address and include these comments in Gascoyne's Wikipedia article then? Feedback appreciated. Thanks... Az x2 21:38, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
