I love that Williams is so confident in their car that they're giving Paddy a few months to chill and think of the next big thing. They figure they are months ahead of the competition, they can start developing the car in the summer Brawn GP-style.

This.

Also, I look forward to Williams making the brilliant move of hiring noted galaxy brain and Brexiteer James Dyson to redesign and improve their turbos with his patented dual cyclone vacuum cleaner technology from his new industrial base in Singapore which is totally for strategic reasons during the crucial Asian leg of the F1 season.

I'd really appreciate it if everyone stopped ganging up on Williams right now, ok?

We're going through a hard time. We're being run by an absolute clown. Our coup of a signing has turned out to be worse than Sam Michael. It's kind of a difficult moment. Please be gentle.

Sorry friend. We think you do great work, it's the executives who suck. Please tell someone to get rid of the white parts and just paint the car blue, the gradient is horrendous.

Right now the only thing that needs to happen is for Claire to gently caress off. Nothing else matters because nothing else will improve until she's deprived of power. She's gone all Margaret Thatcher and plunged Williams into absolute garbage.

We need to skip John Major and go straight to our Tony Blair..... wait...

Everything about Williams is a loving disaster lmao, like the livery is poo poo, the car is poo poo, the management is poo poo, the drivers are poo poo. It’s like loving HRT levels of garbage. Sell the team Frank, maybe you can buy a spine from Nepalese organ thieves.

George Russell hella loving owns super loving hard.

Kubica just had that really nice fuzzy factor.

George is going to be in F1 for a long time while Kubica clearly should have taken that Ferrari simulator job that went to Wehrlein. Claire must do what her father never can and walk.

BMW needs to take over Williams or part own them again or something I dont know.

It would be kind of good to have a season where every team is decent enough that they are all fighting for midpack spots at worst.

Unless its Ferrari at the back. Then thats fine.

This part of the forum is behind a paywall, right? OK here goes.

I'm not Paddy, but I'm on first name terms with him (I'm also not senior management!). We're mostly kept in the dark about everything, there hasn't even been a formal acknowledgement that anything is changing, other than the fact that Paddy's desk is totally clear. Someone joked about putting a little toy elephant on there.

Good point op. The biggest problem going into this season for Williams is the loss of his talent and also his money.

Take note: the paywall is not permanent, sometimes it's down.

What you write, though, sounds awfull. I feel for you, and I really hope Williams gets it's poo poo together. Reading this though sounds like there a major problems in upper management/management style.

Oh dear, you're not Claire Williams' brother are you? The one they only let curate that museum because he stood up to Frank once or something?

Serious question: what's changing jobs like in F1? Do you just pass your cv around the other teams? Is it entirely based on who-you-know clandestine phone calls? Are there f1/motorsports specific recruiters out there?
