When I went to the F1 lobby, I confused myself.
I need sleep.

I´m curious, why are Williams competing in F1, when they not hire a driver with some good experience?

All, it seems, Sir Frank cares about is being in F1 - even if it is financed by pay driver and at the back of the grid.

Some think Rubens would have been better. I'm not convinced. But even if he is better, he isn't that much better than compensate for $16 million in sponsorship. It's a good move and if you were a team owner responsible for the livelihood of hundreds, you'd have done the same.

Williams has officially hit rock bottom
When they are so broke they can't sign an immensely more qualified driver in Sutil
or retain an adequate Rubens, who at his advanced racing age is still much better than either pastor or Senna, then you know the end is near for this historic team
oh, and yes senna, they did sign you because of the money
As to sutil, this might be a blessing in disguise
Mercedes, Ferrari, and Renault might have openings next year.you can't argue with results.

First of all, I wish to Bruno best of luck and good health! I hope that his career is revived as well as the team

Somehow I don't expect Williams to finish above P9 in WCC this year. Of course I shall not blame drivers for it, they are not that bad, but I don't expect any miracles either, when the going gets tough. Except perhaps some impressive qualifying runs.

Sutil may well be going to jail, and even if he isn't its hardly good publicity. Rubens definately is not getting any quicker, he might say his motivation is still there, but I think he's given all he can give and in his time there so far hasn't moved the team forward.
Senna may not be the second coming, but his name means exposure, he does come with some money and he is a decent driver with a real chance of improving when given a proper pre season, testing and a safe seat. In the position they were in, I think only Sutil would have been a better driver option, but all the crap he is bringing negates a lot of that. However, this is Senna's last and only chance to prove he belongs. He has a proper chance in a half decent car for a whole season. I will judge him based on that, rather than the aborted previous seasons in a dog of a car and a part season in a rapidally declining car."I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
Fourmaux. Btw msport tested also hankook tyres https://youtu.be/DESKqpAqX5o?si=3uxWc8FrCUGMT0Pi https://youtu.be/sHetcbBQwKk?si=M7kq3bf2ar3Slhco
