Colopinto is fast but makes mistakes. He is young and hungry
You can coach and mature a fast driver who makes mistakes much easier than a slow but reliable driver. My grandmum would never made it in f1, but she wouldnt have crashed ever. I remember all the jokes about a young no hoper nicknamed ""Crashstappen" |

Yeah, we see it time and again. Fast drivers who crash a lot who then just because fast drivers. I remember it with Massa, and he got benched for a year.

Apparently Williams has borrowed parts from Mercedes. Mentioned during the SKY pre race and confirmed by a Vowles clip/interview.
Nice friendly behaviour for sure and something which has no doubt happened many times over the years. That said curious how this works under the budget cap era. |

I believe they bought them from Mercedes Heritage. The parts haven't changed since last year so Mercedes had old spares.
They need a spreadsheet to keep track of these things. |

Mr Sainz seemed competitive on the test day as well. Albeit on softer ‘25 tyres.. and not running at the same time/weather/uV as the qually session proper.
Definitely better than being last.. Now it’s time for the untold Spanish millions to rock up and fill the empty spaces on the Williams for next year! |

Williams should have enough money from Santander for a spare tub.
