How is this going to work sponsor-wise? Senna's sponsors include an oil company (OGX) and a telecom (Embratel) while Williams already has sponsors from those industries, PDVSA and AT&T.

I think they should get rid of Maldanaldo, he was rubbish last season, the only reason he gets the seat due to his sponsership, Senna and Alguersuari would be an exciting line up due to both had strong end to the season

The fact that Williams have not confirmed their drivers yet just shows to me that they are still a team in disarray. This is far too late to be deciding who your driver is going to be. Maldonado is only there because of sponsorship. He's a nothing driver in my opinion, and they can't decide who the other driver will be yet. The second driver will now have almost zero input into the new car. Another season at the back for Williams. Any team that takes this long to decide their driver line up deserves to be at the back.

why rush, there are a handful of decent, if not world beating, drivers, with no seat for next year. Williams don't need to rush into a decision when they can have the pick of Barrichello, Sutil, Alguesari, Senna, Heidfield, Liuzzi, Bottas, D'Ambrosio. Once they have sorted the budget, new title sponsor (much more pressing IMO) then they can finalise the driver line up. Its not like they could be left with no choice as there is nowhere else for these guys to go. Clearly they need the money, but it looks to me they are trying to sort that part before picking a driver, rather than letting it dictate a driver. Anyhow, Rubens will have had a decent amount of input into the car already, there is precious little a driver could do between New Year and the first test on a car that should already be 95% complete
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

^ what he said. There are a dozen or so drivers desperate to be on the grid so if Williams play this right they can virtually take their pick from quite a pool of talent. To rush into a couple of pay drivers now would be foolish in my humble.
