Sounds like some of the money behind Rokit is from one of the founders of Tequila Patron, who sold their business a couple years ago. So it sounds like he’s spending his money poorly already.

On a startup, of course, not on racing.

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.

Phwoar, so proud of Williams for choosing such a fine British partner. I guess posters itt would prefer sponsors for cancer, global warming fuel and heart attack juice like teams from other places

I think it's the 2018 car with a 2019 front wing. If it's a real 2019 wing that's a really interesting concept for it with a huge main element and the rest all stacked towards the back.

I am going to be repeatedly irked when people can't tell the Renault from the Haas side on, though, I can feel it

Looks like they did a live livery launch on the 2018 car and released the 2019 car on twitter. I guess they can control what angles they're showing off of the 2019 car that way

Who? If it's Ed Brown, then he seems like a cool guy. I just watched "Gentleman Drivers" on Netflix and he's one of the guys in that. Loves his motor racing and has spent what is probably a small fortune in WEC / sportscar racing so he can get to drive.
