Sebastian Vettel as Director of Performance @ Infiniti
 

First topic discussed in this video:

Johan De Nysschen Talks Sebastian Vettel and the Future of Infiniti - Wide Open Throttle Episode 60 - YouTube

Anyone want to speculate what this means for the next Z?

Absolutely nothing, all the time will be spend on the GTR

Well... that's no fun.

I was thinking:

a) if the Z will continue to be developed alongside the G-successor, there would be some benefits

and

b) in the initial release of the 370Z, there were some shortcomings that may have been treated more seriously with someone like Sebastian Vettel critiquing.

Point well taken though, the GT-R is the halo car.

i was hoping to see more japanese doods with samurai swords making decisions but oh well.

looks like infiniti is going in the right direction. but this is good for the Z because now that the Q60 and the Z are breaking up this might bring a rivalry. Because the Q60 will set the bench mark and nissan and the Z will have to stay ahead.

Gotta be kinda old news. After all, they made a Sebastian Vittel FX50S

He's a kid with undeniable racing skills. How does that make him qualified to hold a near executive level position in an international automotive corporation?

If they put him in charge of anything besides steering an F1 car, they're idiots.

Sebastian is a whiny b*tch.

If you see them, you're already dead. So, hopefully we're not seeing these ninja's.

Probably not a very good idea since he's not good at talking orders from managment :roflpuke2:

This is no different than any other celebrity who is given a cerrimonial title at a company, it's just for marketing/promotional purposes

Yeah. Alicia Keys works at Blackberry. :|

I imagine his job is to whine about how bad the car is for a few iterations of development.

yah, i saw that too a while back. :tup:

i have her virtual piano software in my mac. sounds pretty good.

I also heard he likes to swallow... :supergay:

I want to get a job as chief booby inspector at Victoria Secret :icon17:
