He shouldn't be in a Williams. Along with everybody else.

Did you see the awkward conversation between Stroll Snr and Clare Williams? It didn’t seem she was in control of her own (well, her dad’s) company.

No I missed that, sadly. It's such a shame they've gone down the toilet.

Weird. I just searched for this thread to ask whether folks thought Williams were going to make it much longer.... ?

Not so long ago they were the dominant force - how times change!

Actually it is quite a while ago - but anyway

Double ouch!

Porter has his 2019 Grand Prix guide out in paperback, if you’re into that sort of thing

I usually buy his books as a sort of thank you for all the other free stuff

He's not. It's barely an F2 car. Best lap time by a Williams was 1:28.7.

The Williams is the only car that is slower than its 2018 predecessor. That’s how shit it is.

They should be allowed to go back.

And the most stupid thing about that is that the 1992 would win!

No it wouldn't.

Interesting - what circuits have not changed from 1992 to now, so we can compare?

1992 fastest laps

2018 because only one race in '19

* 1992 Australia -- Michael Schumacher -- BENETTON FORD -- 1:16.078
* 2019 Australia -- Valtteri Bottas -- MERCEDES -- 1:25.580

Didn't realise it was that much of a difference.

Can't be the same layout, or even track. Can it?

Good point!

According to Wiki:
