I wonder if Williams need to focus more on the consistent use of their rear tires and their rear end stability more than worrying about letting each other past.oT v1 wrote:i think they need to be more ruthless in terms of letting one driver through when they're clearly faster (e.g after a round of pit stops), they seem to have hindered each other a bit in Bahrain when really they should have been higher up. I think FI had them covered but they should have had the Bulls. 3 points behind Ferrari in the WCC when they should be 15+ ahead.Earnard Beccelstone wrote:Arrrgh, Bahrain intensly frustrating as a Williams fan.
Watching Bottas and then Massa slip off the podium and then get done over by the safety car deployment....
The car has speed, but it just seems that they're not getting the best out of it.
But to be fair...without the safety car it might have been a different story.

I really expected Massa to be better than the petty little "Williams upgrades work better than Ferrari upgrades" crap. Even more so with him supposedly very close to the everyday little guys in the Scuderia.LookBackTime wrote:No-one will catch Mercedes - Massa

Williams related news from Massa:
"The work we have been doing at Williams with new parts, the only thing which we couldn't use yet was a bigger rear wing that wasn't working at the first race. We keep trying to use it, but that's the only thing, everything thing else we brought is in the car. I am really 100% sure that the new parts here will work and the new parts at the next race and every other race should work."
Massa is right. And he speaks better on track...acosmichippo wrote:I am continually disappointed by Massa. He whines all the time, and incidents are always the other guy's fault. Sunday he finally gets a chance to win a race and completely chokes.
Anyway, what the hell's going on with Williams' online store? it's halfway through the season, and they haven't been able to get updated merch? I don't think I even want any of their new stuff at this point.
I would, at least just looking at the last preseason test at Bahreim...marcush. wrote:who would have thought Williams and Massa are such a good fit ? Both more or less outdates -Ferrari merely kicking him out for Raikkonen who struggles no less against Alonso and Williams loss (?) of Maldonado towards Lotus ..what a decision on malfunctionados side ...
I´m overthe moon for Felipe to have the opportunity to put a few things right in Austria! No question Bottas had the pole in Hand ..but you have to make it stick -and Massa did .Congratulations. A fine Show . Tomorrow is the race.
