Kolles: F1's tail-end troubleshooter
When an F1 team hits the skids, ace troubleshooter Dr Colin Kolles gets the call. Now assisting Caterham, he opens up to JAMES ROBERTS in a rare interview
It's fair to say that Dr Colin Kolles isn't your typical Formula 1 team boss. He doesn't have the smiley, media-friendly persona of, say, a Christian Horner.
Instead he has a manner more akin to that of one Bernard Charles Ecclestone. The intimidating scowl, the reticent responses to questions - yet, underneath, there is a mischievous sense of humour.
