Family interference or distraction between a driver and chief mechanic at the race track is not a good situation......Working for a family owned team, where one of the children is the driver, is also a bad situation for a non family mechanic.
Growing up at the races, I had a word that described owners who carried themselves in a fashion similar to what you describe here. That word was "********."
Family is a huge part of racing.
