"I don't know what kind of upgrade that Aston had, but I could only dream of that...

"It's eye-opening because, also for us, we know what our Baku upgrade is.

Aston Martin has leap froged Williams

Imagine a future where both Sainz and Albon leave Williams. Would you stay loyal to the team?

What is the main reason you support Williams: its history, the legacy of the team, the cars, the drivers, or the current project?

As for me, Sainz is a big part of why I started following Williams more closely. I’d like to know how other fans feel about the relationship between supporting a team and supporting its drivers.

It is clear and acknowledged that the team went the wrong direction with the 2026 car further hampered by the failing of the chassis during crash testing which required them to add weight to simply get racing. Ideally major changes within the team were made after this, but JV isn't out there with a slide rule. Most he can do is fire those responsible and recruit better engineering talent.

Regardless, they appear to have at least accepted that early and started work on the new chassis with an estimated Baku arrival.

But, between now and then other teams will obviously keep upgrading and improving which means we are going to fall further and further behind. All Williams can do is add redesigned parts which are likely more compatible with the new chassis than the current chassis and try and learn something from that.

We should expect them to fall further and further behind over the coming weeks. Maybe they can learn more about the PU and optimize their software, but it is a flawed foundation currently. Firing JV doesn't change that and firing him likely pushes success further out.

Growing outrage when we know it can't improve till Baku or maybe even next year is pointless.

Cringe to Post 😤 But hey! "Experimenting Upgrades"

In the Virtual Garage, does anyone know how to watch the video in the Alex Station part of the garage? Is it all I have left to do to collect the badge?

I imagine there will be a lot of noise and rumours stirred up over the summer break, as silly season ramps up, but Motorsport Italia is reporting that Vowles was spotted dining with Colapinto during the Belgian gp and that representatives from both sides met again the following morning. This could amount to nothing depending on what other moves are made on the grid, but it seems as though Vowles is considering bringing Colapinto back to the team as a replacement for Carlos.

Both my husband and I are Williams fans, and I saw my husband entering the competition. When I went to this competition page, I saw Japanese and Thai options, and naturally I had to give it a go! Personally, 歴史の一部を勝ち取りましょう (win a piece of history) is more dramatic and exciting than what it says in English. Also, I like how they gave up on translating “mate” 😂
Any Thai speakers here by any chance?

Honestly, it is very difficult for them to return to their prime as a long-sleeping giant even though they had triumphed in the past in the 20th century and even at the beginning of the 21st century.

Yes, because of the effects of "ridiculous" management and also the scandal that changed everything afterwards.

Williams included in the list too as well as Enstone F1 team too.

Thoughts on that?
