“Ross being in charge of the technical areas is a huge benefit to me personally, not because I've divorced myself from those – far from it – but because there's someone there taking day-to-day care of them now. That has allowed me to work much more on the commercial side, which again went lacking last year because I had to spend a lot of time on the technical side.
“I'm very much enjoying myself, and going home with a sense of achievement as opposed to going home with a sense of frustration that no matter how hard we tried, progress was slow.”
One final boon for
Honda, as it looks towards what it hopes will be a far more productive and successful 2008, is the addition of Alex Wurz to the driving roster. The experienced Austrian has joined forces with race drivers
Jenson Button and
Rubens Barrichello, as the trio endeavour to develop the RA108 into a regular points-scorer and podium-challenger.
“Alex is tremendously popular,” Fry enthused. “He's worked with a number of guys here in the past, whether it was at Benetton or elsewhere, so they know him well. He's an incredibly smart guy, he's got a lot of character and he is very funny.
“He's very well-respected, and he really supplements Jenson and Rubens extremely well. He's very dedicated too, and let's not forget all his teams in the past have won the world championship.”
