Interesting that stroll has been the fastest driver on his team which has rosenqvist, juncadella, frijns at the daytona 24. Should be interesting race.

spiritone

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...

Finally

spiritone

There is more than just a driver change that makes williams interesting this year. This will be the debut of the paddy lowe williams. Will all the knowledge he accumulated at merc result in a more competitive william s. I suspect being stuck with last years dud he will be making quite a few changes....

spiritone

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. There is the anomaly of why the chassis was better in the rain in the hands of all people lance stroll at monza where he out qualified ocon by 7 tenths and his teammate...

spiritone

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...

spiritone

Mcdo you think that williams had the 4th best chassis? Maybe you should talk to paddy and ask him why he gave up on it after the four race of the season and decided to make major changes for next year. I'm sure he would love to hear your input. Mike your idea that putting the force india drivers in ...

spiritone

You guys are dreaming. Posters want to go on about merc only winning because of the engine, well that is the definition of williams F1. Not a very good chassis with a very good engine. F1 had a chassis that was much better than williams, paired with one of the best engines. If williams chassis was s...

spiritone

Judging by the inconsistency of williams in qualifying it still seems they need better engineers. How many times did they qualify bad and then ended up with better race pace. Something is missing. Merc had their engineers going 24 hrs a day to fix their setup problems maybe they could have saved mon...

spiritone

If a driver(who has not driven in f1 for years) is bringing up ideas that the engineers have never heard of i would hire new engineers.

spiritone

My gu ess, no kubica at williams. Too much hesitation from paddy.

spiritone

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.

spiritone

"Just testing" I doubt robert looks at it as just testing, he's fighting for his racing career.

spiritone

So kubica beats strolls time by .095.

Would massa have beat it by .500?
Was the track better?

So many fun questions

spiritone

Going to be an interesting day today with kubica getting to run on low fuel. Depending on how he does the comments should be good. If he's still slower than stroll does that mean that Stroll is better than some posters thought Massa is better than some posters gave him credit for Kubica is not as go...

spiritone

For the posters criticising stroll watch some of the in car camera shots on you tube. There are not very many where it doesn't looks like the car is ready to jump out from under him or in the last race where the car had a lot of understeer on his Q1 attempt. Whether it is because of his inexperience...

spiritone

Well does hamilton finally get driver of the day.

spiritone

Not bad for a kid who just turned 19, driving a not so great car, fighting with the highly touted ocon. He didn't come into F1 when the cars were easier to drive like max. I'm not saying he is another max but he couldn't have come into F1 at a worse time with the big change in rules. His true test i...

spiritone

Another good finish by stroll. Gave highly rated ocon all he could handle. Still having trouble in Qualifying, but finding his pace in the races.

spiritone

Hey mikeyg, drivers underachieving at williams? P8 behind merc in the wet, ahead of all the other midfield teams. Just maybe the car isn't very good or the setups suck. The car always seems to be better on full fuel or in the rain, whats up with that? Makes for some serious guestions about the perso...

spiritone

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. There also seems to be a disconnect between stroll and his engineer that he can beat massa in the wet but...

spiritone

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. Being fast in the rain has a lot to do with the driver but having a good race setup has a great deal to do with your engineer. Some of his incar camera's from ...

spiritone

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.

spiritone

Excellent performance in qualifying, very good race. Had a good battle with ocon but force india just that little bit better car. He had a couple of shots to pass ocon but i think his mindset was to get to the finish more than trying a risky pass. Good battle with massa. Was great that he treated hi...

spiritone

Always interesting to read the comments from desk jockeys how easy it is to drive these cars, judge the closing speed and give back a position, no problem eh! Just maybe that little swap of positions might have been just a little tougher than it looked. No, of course not, it's just so easy, i've don...

spiritone

Missed qualifying. I see bottas gained 8 tenths and hamilton gained only a few hundreds. Car problems?

spiritone

So it's not enough to take shots at lance, now we got to include his dad. Get over it, the kid got a podium and palmer has taken his place as the worse driver.

spiritone

I'm 76 and still racing with my grandson. Fell in love with F1 in the 50's, love the tech. Not into racer personalities just racing talent.

spiritone

Sorry but williams are not in red bulls league. They couldn't compete with red bull last year with bottas on their team. Right now they are lucky if they can beat force india. Paddy is working hard to make them into a top team again and i think they will be in much better shape near the end of the y...

spiritone

Quite simple. Hamilton made vettle look bad on first restart, vettle tries to get jump on second miscalculates and runs into hamilton. Vettles fault. Then to compound the problem, accidental or not runs into hamiltons car. Vettles fault. If you have raced before or are currently racing you know how ...

spiritone

Been following F1 since the 50's. Been a fan of fangio, clark, gurney, gilles, alonso, etc and now hamilton. Had a business building race cars for 30 years and raced and managed teams. Follow drivers because of their racing ability not their personalities. Since i'm from canada i have added stroll t...

spiritone

MISTER AGGRESSIVE IS BACK. Nice to see the tone has changed quite a bit. The reason for me being aggressive by the way is i was tired of seeing my countryman being piled on. There were alot of factors for him having a slow start and i know how it is on the internet with all the keyboard drivers lovi...

spiritone

WORSE DRIVER IN F1 FINISHES THIRD. YEAH YEAH YEAH OH CANADA

spiritone

He beat him on a track he had never been on. He was well clear of him in Q1 and Q2 and was maybe a little to conservative in Q3. So now we have gone from 4 pages of bashing him and i'm to aggressive. Seems like you guys like to dish it out but you don't like taking it. Have a little humor things cou...

spiritone

Seems it was ok to pile on to stroll with some pretty rude criticism but my comebacks are aggressive?

spiritone

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

spiritone

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".

spiritone

Seems his engineers finally found a setup to make him more comfortable. F1 is not just about the drivers. I thought williams would be better than force india at this track but maybe this is their proper position right now.

spiritone

An extra o for you.

spiritone

Come on where are you, stroll should'nt be there, worst driver in F1, wa wa. Time to come here and and take your lumps LOOSERS.
