No, what I meant by "why" is explain your position, as it seemed ridiculous. Not spout some claptrap on denial that is purely your opinion!munudeges wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 14:09Wow. I suppose that one word question and this thread is a reflection of the denial there is at Williams. Claire Williams thinks that if she gives an interview with the usual fighting talk it will all magically come good. Her father did it for years before her, which is why I don't entirely blame her. Frank is as much to blame.
If you look at Williams and the facilities they still have, the number of personnel, factory and their wind tunnel and compare them to other teams in front of them, it's night and day. Ditto McLaren and the position they are in, and have been. McLaren had to ditch Honda not because they saw no future necessarily, but because they needed to score championship points to survive as a team. They had to have a known quantity in the back of the car and could no longer afford to gamble. Williams is in the same position, except they have a Mercedes........... In order to survive this team must score points. As things stand, it cannot.
No, it isn't. You've utterly hallucinated what you think I've said, and here's why:
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for there to be another year worse than the last, and no reason for them to have dropped to dead last last year either. None. This is cognitive dissonance and is interestingly an accurate reflection of the mental state of the team. It's a spiral from which I see no end.It was always going to be a year like this, I said so in my other posts above.
No, we judge him now and he's been in two years. The team has problems now, not in six months' or eighteen months' time. The team are going to be forced to do so in the end because they don't have that much time. They were in a dire position, ended up going backwards even from there and this year are even more adrift. You can't keep seeing a pot of utterly hypothetical and delusional gold in a few months' time.Maybe we can come back to this in 6 and 18 months time, only then can you really judge Paddy Lowe's work...
You keep consoling yourself with the claptrap that championship points and finishes don't matter to maintaining a team's finances and resources.paulo_f1 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 14:54You've given it a go with your points example, however it doesn't hold water. If the teams budget is OK this year despite finishing last and long term deals have been done with Rokit, Rexona etc, as the team state, then next years budget will be similar regardless of whether they finish last again and regardless of the 2019 points situation.
Good luck to you in whatever you do, you've failed to make any cogent points or arguments! As per our previous exchanges, it's all just juvenile unsubstantiated nonsense on your part, without ever suggesting a source of information, solitary idea or constructive solution for the team.munudeges wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 15:00You keep consoling yourself with the claptrap that championship points and finishes don't matter to maintaining a team's finances and resources.paulo_f1 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 14:54You've given it a go with your points example, however it doesn't hold water.

i sincerely hope this may be addressed similarly.it's all just juvenile unsubstantiated nonsense on your part
Odd one must be gearbox or brakes all other wear parts come from mercedes don't they body work doesn't wear unless they hit stuff which they hadn't
Components are built from carbon fibre to minimum weight against specific life targets. Everything from suspension to wings will be lifed, and only expected to last, say, a couple of races. Fatigue failure is not limited to metals.
add in making sure they have a solid, reliable, known financial base for the next couple of seasons and you've pretty much summed up what is probably the best (only?) way forward for williamspaulo_f1 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2019, 14:40
This is a building process for next year, or more realistically the big 2021 rule changes. This year is about having a stable platform both internally and with the car to build on the CFD/simulation work and bring real performance to this years car. If the team make progress and catch up with aero improvements that work, then the rebuild process will be working and a job well done.
I thought words failed me before. They do so again. Unbelievable tripe. Other teams must be laughing themselves into a fit.
I refused to believe the situation is so critical, but aparently it really is catastrophic. I have just watched Kubica being asked about testing on the F1 site, and you can clearly see he does not want to make an eye contact directly while replying, looking into all directions during the statement, which clearly shows he is not comfortable.
