It was a hard situation the Massa - Stroll setup. Massa has to mentor while protecting his F1 legacy. Stroll want to make a reputation for himself by beating the veteran F1 driver Massa. I am sure Stroll started out thinking this was going to be an easy enough job until he discovered that Massa was not that slow as most woulkd like to let on. Hence, l can see that there would be some frustration from the Stroll side of the garage. And also from the Massa side which may suggest why the departure of Massa was abit mysterious but expected.

I see them drifting further down the grid to about 7th or 8th if Sauber with a 2018 Ferrari engine recover their mojo and Ericsson drive as well as he did in 2017. Stroll is still wet around the ears.

On day two of test two, Serotkin seem to be struggling to get good pace. He is three seconds from Stroll and five seconds of the best time set on the day. We have to see how he gets along on day three and four. At the mo, not looking good for Williams.

The fastest Williams Driver at the moment appears to be Kubica...

It may be Kubica who steals the drive in the end , if you listen to Jacques .
And , though most will say his words are rubbish , he's got a point .
F1 is "dog eat dog" , as they say .
But , more important at this point , would , in fact , be the ultimate wisdom of making entirely sure that he is ready to go because he may get the call-up if the SMP sponsorship of Sirotkin dries up as a result of the sanction problems .
And , not that I have any particular issue with the Russian driver , but it presents as a dark cloud over the team , especially now , being British .
So , dropping him would be a patriotic win , at the same time as picking up the great press for a Kubica comeback .
I would think that when all is said and done , it could refill whatever void is left after an SMP withdrawal .
I'd bet Rosberg is working hard , as I write this , to work out the details to get this done .
As for the car , cooling issues killed it .
Expect new venting all over it , and a much more representative next race .

Whatever the case, it seems to have gone horribly wrong at Williams. Nothing looks right with the team at the moment. The car has issues, the driver pairing is questionable and as much as l like Kubica, it is looking to me like Williams would have benefited from a driver with recent F1 racing experience in the test driver position to help develop the car since their drivers of choice lack the requisite experience.
From Paddy Lowe's perspective, he has failed to deliver by a mile actually. Plum last is not good enough.Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

In qualy, Williams is the only team who was slower this year compared to previous one. And it's not a couple of tenths, it is 1,3 seconds. Something is fundamentally wrong.

I'm not so sure we should blame the drivers for being so Lowe in the standings .

I blame Jacques for strolling into a certain racers head.
May the forza be with you
Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
