Gives you wings?
They have a very Japanese way of running their organisation. Fantastic if you're running a global megacompany which Toyota are with their cars division, but largely useless for running a Grand Prix team which needs decisions made instantly and where plans can change on a minute by minute basis. They involve a lot of people in upper management who all have a say in the decision making, and it costs time, money and resources. Decisions which can be made in an instant by a Jean Todt or a Frank Williams are tied down in Japanese bureaucracy. Plus there's the old Japanese culture thing where they don't want to lose face with a poor decision. Its why inadequate people hold certain jobs in the organisation simply because management dont want to admit they made a mistake in the first place. It's a largely blameless and decentralised way of running things, and the complete opposite of how to effectively and efficiently manage a top line Grand Prix team.
