At some point Frank will have to think if Claire is doing a good job. The last 3 years of Williams are insanely bad.

"Patience, young grasshopper."
Sir Frank has a lot of things about him that make him very special. He’s an icon, a businessman, a hero, a living legend. I think Claire is great and the appointment of Paddy Lowe should’ve turned things around really well last year, it didn’t pay off as expected. I can’t look at any of her public decisions in isolation and say “that was a bad shout”. Even the Sirotkin decision brought lots of money in for the team - which was a good move for the team, if not who the fans wanted in the car. 12 months later and they’ve got Kubica in and he’s had a year in the simulator to get himself ready to go again. They’ve managed to get a big sponsor on the car even though they bottomed out the constructors championship last year.

Really hopeful for this year. But I do agree that if performance doesn’t improve there’s got to be some changes. From listening to what Paddy was saying in interviews & fan newsletters - he’s owning the problem and the team aren’t firing people, avoiding the classic “blame” culture and instead trying to learn from the lessons. Which is progressive and awesome. I just hope it leads to results this year. Ideally not the bottom guys. If we can compete with Racing Point as the other Merc team then that would be nice.

The car will be so awesome they can't show it yet. The 3d printers of the top four teams would recreate it before official testing, and all advantage would be lost.

remember: there's still the rumor of a major aero loophole, the size of the double-diffusor

(which - of course - will only be a wet fart in regard to how teams twist the horizontal rear wing support similar to what mclaren did last year, but it makes testing more fun. bring on the dazzle camo)

(also also: apparently Ferrari will run a similar red/grey/black livery as the ducati winnow livery, which should look pretty good. Even if the rumors are true and it will be matte)

Per Turrini Mekies job is to find loopholes to exploit and whatever the color it will be an ugly car.

Force Stroll can't even come up with a team name, do you really expect a non-assy livery?

I've made a huge mistake.
So the new Williams sponsor (ROKiT) are also sponsoring Nic Hamilton for a season of BTCC. This is clearly an attempt to get Lewis to Williams in 2020.

I think it’s because the Rokit logo looks so generic, like the fake companies in the MM games.

I give you credit for noticing the failure of hue but I take all that credit away and dock you further points for liking it. Rosso Corsa is the best red and it is offensive for any Italian motor vehicle not to race under that color. I'm honestly surprised people are not rioting in Italy that Ducati and Ferrari should run such fraudulent colors. Once upon a time there was a matter of national pride with such things. Sad.

This is Williams's new sponsor ROKiT, fwiw. TL;DR, they're out to "democratize healthcare" (for Americans, presumably) by selling lovely $50 phones, the service plans for which include things like "Family Telemedicine 24/7/365," a "Pharmacy Savings Platform", and "$20k Burial Insurance."

Edit: Worse comes to worst, at least Frank won't have to pay to dispose of the 2019 Williams.

Minardi never raced under Rosso Corsa and they were cool and good despite being absolute rear end the whole time. A shameful interpretation of national racing colors. Take this nonsense back to the islands where literally nobody is running British racing green. Shameful. Absolutely disgusting.
