Free Practices are good because we get to see them drive like idiots pushing their cars too far and spinning out a lot more than during races.

I know you're a bit of a knob, but could you just buy the team Damon? Or Nige? Ghost of Senna?

Yeah I can't believe these teams would stoop so low as to accept free money that people are handing to them. What is the world coming to?

Williams is owned by a ghoulish venture capital firm, no way those old fucks can cough up the ROI they want.

Stop making fun of poor Williams. They're trying their best. Go back to making fun of McLaren, instead.

Williams needs to make money after they lost their Government of Canada money from the Latifi deal.

It's not just the money, the team in general just sucks and has done for a long time now. Thanks Claire, not so Phwoar.

I’d got in my head that Latifi Sr was behind Dorilton, but I guess not. Surely somebody involved has an F3 failson or something? They don’t genuinely think they’re going to make money off the team?

They bought low (buying out the Williams family and other small stakeholders) and F1 has appreciated in value even in the few years since, and there are still multiple groups circling around entering and possibly needing to buy a team. So from their main metric of “we can sell it for a profit” that should be fine.

This is the problem really, Dorliton's plan seems to be "Sit there" so they won't spend anything more than they can grab from external sources and the goal is just to keep the team from actively falling off the back of the grid.

While we're only allowed 10 teams (and the fact that one of the world's premier motorracing teams and a major manufacturer isn't good enough suggests we are) then they have an asset.

Well I guess that’s why nobody asks me to invest their millions. That’s hosed though. They should have a clause like those £1 dilapidated houses where if you take the piss and don’t make an effort to improve ownership reverts to the local council. Or in this case Claire Williams. Or yeah maybe the local council.

They don’t have to worry about falling off the back of the grid so long as Mclaren exists.

I once had a dream Valentino Rossi joined Merc with Lou but he was afraid of spiders then spiders came out of his hair slowing him down then somehow Dominicali and Jean Todt were made of spiders.
