Re: Williams FW43 revealed (Pics updated)!
Reminds me of an Indycar, and I dont mean that as a disparagement. Just a product of the sponsorship that makes it up..... looks like a 1980s paintjob to me, and i'm more than happy with it.
Hopefully it goes a bit more like an 80s Williams too.

The 50k fine isn't the punishment, you only have to join up the dots to see the current Ferrari team in exactly the light they deserve.
The real punishment will be the knowledge amongst themselves that even by going over boundaries they still didn't even come close to winning the WCC or the WDC.
