Re: Williams uninspiring driver options for 2018
Interesting that stroll has been the fastest driver on his team which has rosenqvist, juncadella, frijns at the daytona 24. Should be interesting race.

Re: Williams uninspiring driver options for 2018
My hope is that the car is really good and the drivers suprise the s#it out of all the negative nellies that post in this thread. Love it that they have gone with a canadian and a russian as their drivers instead of the usual suspects. Williams did quite well with the last canadian that drove for th...

Re: Williams uninspiring driver options for 2018

Re: Williams uninspiring driver options for 2018
It wasn't the 4th best package and the rest of the years results proved it. They couldn't develop out the flaws according to paddy.

Well mike we seem to have a disagreement about massa's ability. I happen to think he did a pretty good job in a not very good car. A car that paddy thinks was not very good considering he's basically redoing the car for next year. Massa may not be once he once was but my guess would be he would matc...

Mcdo you think that williams had the 4th best chassis?

Be honest, for kubica's fans, if he had been 1 sec quicker than stroll the fact that it was a test wouldn't mean anything. This is what the forum all about, having opinions about who's faster.

Whether it is because of his inexperience...

Once again the mystery continous, stroll fast in rain, slower in dry. With williams not understanding why their car is so good in the rain and such a slug in the dry does not bode well for them.

Still think there is a disconnect between stroll and his engineer. So much of being consistently fast is having the right setup on your car.

Re: Criticism of Lance Stroll
Stroll was in a no win situation. Ocon wasn't going to give up without a fight and judging how his battles with perez turned out stroll made the right choice. To attempt a risky pass and not have it come off would have all his detractors back on here declaring he shouldn't be in F1.

Pretty weak. Everybody was sure enjoying themselves and piling on when he was struggling but now it's the usual comeback, just one race. Now he's going to tracks he's raced before and massa will have to pick up his game. The next comeback will be "well massa was never that good anyway".
