 Jaguar Boss Suggests Lauda Could Test F1 Car Wednesday February 14th, 2001
"It's an idea from the head of our finance department to help compensate for his salary," Reitzle, chairman of Jaguar's Premier Automotive Group, told weekly Bunte in an interview released ahead of publication. "But the final decision belongs to Niki Lauda himself." The former triple world champion was recruited by the Jaguar team earlier this month. He will be chiefly responsible for all Jaguar's F1 commitments. Lauda, who won world titles with Ferrari in 1975 and 1977 and McLaren in 1984, told Bunte that Jaguar were working to a five-year plan. "I don't expect that we will be in a position to win a race or two until the third year at the earliest." Jaguar made a high-profile return to F1 last year but had a disappointing season, winning just four points.
