I wonder what the future holds for the Williams name?

"The announcement confirmed there are no plans to change the name of the team or the chassis, with the new owner recognising “the importance of respecting and retaining Williams’ heritage”.

There are also no plans to relocate the team from its existing base at Grove in Oxfordshire."

It says they will continue to use the Williams name. For how long, remains to be seen

they can call it what they want imo...they need to start pulling finger when it comes to on track as well as off track performances or they'll be gone in the not too distant future. Williams' problems go far deeper than funds imo. They are one of the only teams (incl Ferrari - stubborn mule more than prancing horse these days) that haven't changed with the times. Old stubborn way of doing things, as apposed to the other younger teams' working cultures for instance (horisontal integration, no blame culture etc etc)  Lots of articles and documentaries and interviews with team bosses to back this up.  McLaren recently went trough a similar restructuring and that is starting to bare fruit it seems, they are on the up. The dinosaurs need to evolve or die imo.

Daniel Ricciardo isn't too bad on a bike!

It must have been rough for Juan Manuel

I see they removed the astro from the outside of the curbs and just painted it green.

 

They have also added a lot more barriers in front of walls etc that would prevent a crash like last year.

It is Belgium

6 of the slowest 8 have Ferrari engines in FP2. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

I wish the FIA would let us know what was done to make the engine such a complete dud.

F1 tech forums are pretty convinced it was a Loophole somewhere around ERS power delivery per lap. You’ll recall that there were rumors as far back as 2018 about ferrari’s battery packs and how much power they were delivering. All speculation obviously But it would explain why ferrari currently claim to not have any ‘party modes’ for quali etc...they had nothing with regards to ICE extra power via modes and were getting it all from electricity....

I watched the start till the 3rd corner, then changed the channel. Nothing seems to have changed till the end. It's gotten boring

[Vetseun]

Started watching for the first time in years today.

That was four minutes that I will never get back.

this is the closest i've come to stopping the torture. ive been a 'religious' fan of this sport since the late 80s (basically as far back as i can remember as a kid)....and i just cant anymore. And to think we are stuck with another 1.5y of this specific bullsh1t???? 

suffice to say, if the partymode ban doesnt close up the field by monza....i'll be taking a break from this crap 'til 2022.
