Williams clearly found the coin to express airfreight the broken chassis tub back to Europe for repair, and to eventually send on to Japan...

Perhaps there is a timing issue of the software introduction, to replace Excel. Presumably its now multi user (which Excel can kinda handle but there are fleas...) and able to take on more and more detail and pukka batch recording and control. It could have been done to control parts on the '23 car.. maybe they figured it was a lot of work to do so for parts the team will never have use for again...

Wonder if it put anyone out of a gig to modernise this way. I somehow imagine a data entry operator keying into the Excel model from hell...

I'd happily work for a F1 team if it meant punching a bunch of data from Excel into a new program!

I'll take a small salary and attendance at each race on the calendar. Super cheap labour.
