I think the only reason Kvyat and Wehrlein are in the conversation is so they build relationships with multiple options in case they need to drop Stroll after next season.

Palmer was laughed away and Kvyat I think was very quickly looked at and decided is a no-go.

With Massa's retirement official it's down to di Resta and Kubica.

:toxx: Please tack on another month in the event of Williams deciing NOT to go with EITHER di Resta or Kubica on top of my existing toxx of 1 month if they don't go with Kubica :toxx:

I'm so drat hyped to see Paddy Lowe in Williams and he's going to bring the team back to the front of the grid. Just as he worked his magic to make Mercedes thje powerhouse that it is he's going to do the same with Williams.

I agree. A double retirement is retarded. Will be interesting to see if the pits have the same reaction at the end of his last race as Brazil 2016...probably not.

Here's a wacky silly season scenario: Sauber add Leclerc but retain Ericsson, and Ferrari convinces Haas to dump Grosjean for Giovinazzi.

I see Magnussen getting dumped before Grosjean otherwise that's pretty plausible.

Force India’s budget is about $40M less than Williams, about 20% less as a percentage.

They spend less per WCC point than any other team, $1.84M per point compared to $5.04M for Williams.

Otmar Szafnauer is not a bellend.

Williams are only operating on their name’s former glory, probably why they’re interested in Kubica.

You son of a bitch.

Williams hasn't had a stable leader in the technical role in a while. I mean, hell, they hired Mike Couglan the dude from McLaren's spyg------
