Talk about rats deserting a sinking ship,, pff.
Sam Michaels was "fired" at the begin of this season (I think Singapur is his last race for Williams). So he is not a rat leaving the sinking ship.
"The Australian, who announced in May he would resign from Williams at the end of this season, will now focus on McLaren's trackside operations".
"The team's co-founder Sir Frank Williams commented: "I am delighted that Sam has found a new role that will enable him to continue to apply his energy, passion and experience to F1".
"I've spent 11 seasons with Williams, have many fond memories, and truly wish them all the best," Michael said.
Dunno where you are getting your information from Nico. Does not sound like a man that has been fired.
Where is the evidence supporting this?. I have been trawling motor sport journals and can find nothing to support these claims. All I can see is that he has resigned of his own accord, as things go in F1 it's not unusual for team re-shuffles.
The only real fact that has been presented here is that his last race will be Singapore as Nico pointed out.
