It's a shame to see a team like Williams, a once constructor's champion with multple WDC's having sunk to this level of having two pay drivers. While I think Bruno Senna will be a good addition to the team, I really can't see anywhere but down for William's. They'll be fighting with Caterham this year I reckon, that is if they are lucky. They made some changes this year but if this is the road they are taking, I don't see any improvements happening quickly.

People were quite disappointed and upset, so we applied to Paul Morris to see if we could lease it for GMR.VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

If, as was suggested above Williams has hit rock bottom then the only way is up. I guarantee this season will be better, particularly towards the end of season. As far as Frank just wanting to be in F1 - you dont know how wrong you are.

Williams are doing everything to can to use spare change from Cosworth... All their drivers, save Rosberg and Rubens, paying for their drives since 2007...
Now hiring Spygate...
Williams is desperate, the lion senses the end is near.

I agree with Robinho. It's not a bad decision considering Williams's other options. They are giving a young pilot a chance while still keeping the Brazilian sponsors interested. It's a good tradeoff. I would disagree about Williams only wanting to have drivers with good sponsors. It seems like they were interested in hiring Kimi Raikkonen. I am sure they would have considered someone like Webber or Massa, if only those or similar drivers were interested in moving to a team two tiers below their current team.
Williams's biggest downfall comes from the fact that they decided not to be a factory team. Every team that was doing well in the last 10 years, except for Brawn in 2009 and McLaren after Mercedes Benz divestment, was a factory team or a global brand corporate team (e.g. RedBull). It's very tough and unpredictable sport for the privateers.
