Well under new owners for quali the williams did not perform any better, to be honest they seem to have lost a bit of spirit

I agree, give it time. Next season the money should be able to make a difference

Actually Russell should have by rights have got a point, but for this silly SC free pass rule, which meant Raikkonen got back a lap. Just shows the folly of the rule

It is normal - as long as the clerk of the course thinks it is safe to do so.

Jos Capito to run Williams? Sounds like good news as long as he brings his broom

Predicted by me on 4th September...!!
Some thoughts... Looks to me like Williams has been bought by someone who clearly wanted to save the team, preseve the name and by some opinions, the price paid is quite high bearing in mind the uncertain return. This is someone with an F1 passion and knowledge of the history of F1 who has bought Williams IMO. The ruthless buyers would only have had to waited 12-18 months and (IMO) allegedly Williams would have burnt through Latifi's loan and be out of cash and possibly into administration which results in a fire sale. Hence the speed with which the sale was concluded. As for the new TP - I am going to out on a limb and suggest Jost Capito (currently at VW), he was at McLaren very briefly and for whatever reason it didn't work out, perhaps he has unfinished business in F1? |

It's worth mentioning that Sir Frank has recently been hospitalized. No details but personally I wish him well.

The plan is to be the White Mercedes, alongside the Pink Mercedes it seems:
'British team will use Mercedes-AMG gearboxes and hydraulics from 2022, along with Aston Martin' 'from 2022, the British team will join Aston Martin F1 - formerly Racing Point - in not only relying on Mercedes equipment for its car’s power but transmitting it to the track as well.' |

Reasonable to the point where i wish they were able to start this season with it.
Also another sign that Merc's medium to long term plans have them invovled with F1 for the foreseeable future? |

I saw this earlier and meant to post a comment here. I think this is a good thing and something they should have done a long time ago.

I am sure George Russell’s feedback to his engineers will be even better now that he knows what is like to be in the best car on the grid and knows how a car should behave
