Some pretty strict fuel usage verification tests coming:

Seems like it'd be easier to just bring back refueling already, sheesh.

How do they intend to calculate the mass of parts knocked off the car where they aren't able to recover them whole? Are we going to see people knocking off endplates on the cool down laps?

I guess if the only criteria to not be poo poo is to win drat everything then the only not poo poo driver is Hamilton. Reflect on that like you didn't reflect before voting to torpedo your country's economy and world standing.

That is how many f1 fans actually think, yeah.

Most of whom will never touch an open wheel car, or poo poo, even a kart.

The implications of those new rules is that some shady poo poo has been gotten away with until now. Can't wait to find out the details of how teams have been using extra fuel to somehow cheat the flow rates or as movable ballast maybe?

Charisma doesn't necessarily mean an awesomely nice person. It's that charm/presence that inspires devotion from fans. Just look at other "celebrities" to see that charisma doesn't necessarily mean a "super charming person" - the Oasis brothers are great examples of this.

You can be popular without being charismatic, though.

Ultimately this is an argument of semantics.

Mission Winnow is a PMI-driven initiative inspired by the drive and dedication of our partner Scuderia Ferrari. The initiative draws parallels between Scuderia Ferrari’s laser-like focus on constant improvement in performance and reliability, and PMI’s journey to transform our business through science and technology to achieve a better future.

lmao holy poo poo

[...]

For even though there has been some encouraging news on the sponsorship front, with the signing of title backer Rokit, there have been hints that performance gains have not been so promising.

Furthermore, there have been suggestions that the car delay is more down to bad planning of production schedules rather than it being a deliberate tactic to maximise development time.

Multiple sources with good knowledge of the situation have suggested that the lack of progress has prompted question within Williams’ senior management that if the FW42 does not come up to scratch then it will have to seriously evaluate Lowe’s position.

A lot may then rest on how the FW42 turns out – although there has even been a suggestion that Lowe may even have gone as far as offering his resignation if the team felt it was the right thing to do.

Williams today issued a firm ‘no comment’ when asked by Motorsport.com about the Lowe rumours regarding his future and potential resignation offer. In F1 terms that is known as a non-denial denial.

Yeah, gently caress it, Paddy's gone. The car is a dog yet again. Claire should be the next to go, too, and another team principal is muchly needed bigly. This is too much now. They should have gone the McLaren route and plundered the ex-Porsche LMP1 guys.

I never thought Paddy was any good, but Williams seems to be having huge management problems. They've been shown to be focused on nitpicky poo poo (some guy wearing shorts) and not letting the technical teams structure themselves as needed. I'd love to see the ratio of management positions to actual technical positions, as i'd bet it's pretty equivalent.

Michael Schumacher 2019 would be a better team manager than Claire at this point. Paddy may have turned out to be a massive dud but the buck stops with her.

If you guys think Frank actually has any say in the team at this point then you're deluded. His role at Williams is the equivalent of the Queen's at this point. Claire's the one that calls all the shots and the buck stops with her.
