Maybe Claire is not the saviour. I had hoped she would do a great job and **** those up who complained purely because she's a woman.

A bit harsh imo.
Cant speak to the internal workings of another persons family but from my own experience of growing up and now working within a family run business...there is no seperation between business and family. They are one and the same and the kids grow up around the same kitchen table where the work and talk of business is carried out. The success of one requires the success of the other. No doubt there are challenges growing up with a uniquely resolute parent but here i see children very much focused on continuing their family's work. As an aside (and complete speculation on my part) i would think SFW's disability makes his family far more important to him then a second fiddle. Anyways just my two cents as an armchair shrink |

Another classic TV shot of Ms Williams looking bewildered in the Garage on her own at a TV monitor station - except when the camera panned onto her she was looking at her phone until she realised and then looked up at the screens trying to look interested....

Just curious about the inverted commas around “sir”. Is there some question about the validity of SFW’s knighthood? |

So Two day test, Russel half a day , Latiffi Half a day - one would have thought he needs every KM available. Some Israeli nobody a FULL DAY!!!! The team is carrying on like a second rate 80’s F3 team. So sad to see

Can they learn much from this platform though? It doesn't seem like much should transfer to next season so might as well earn cash letting a rich kid play. I'm guessing an old F1 car or 2 had made it to Latifi to go play.

Unfortunately money talks. It would be nice for Latifi to get a bit more mileage, but it’s better to get it in the 2020 car

we don’t know what their testing programme is either. and nobody knows how much running latifi or nissany have done in the heritage and customer programmes too. this assumption they need someone to rinse the last half second out of the car isn’t necessarily a valid one. |

I think Latifi also took part in half a dozen Friday FP1's this year.... as well as laps in pre season testing (Nissany also took part in pre season testing for Williams.)

i havent looked at any of the timing data for the test and everyone is just using the last name...so i assumed everyone was talking about Chanoch Nissany.
i even went so far to look at Chanoch's wiki page to figure out how old he was and while typing out a response here (something like why would Williams run a 56 year old???) it dawned on me that i must be missing something very obvious! |

It’s his son Roy I think. Nissany Sr famously drove the Minardi in Friday practice for the 2005 Hungarian GP at the age of 42! Hardly surprising, he didn’t start karting till his mid 30s. He infamously got the nickname Stirling Mossad

My Company supplied Williams with Loctite during the Mclaren years when they had Loctite as a sponsor.
I spoke many times with Dickie Stanford, the test team boss. He told me then..If you want to become a sponsor of Williams, give us 1 million pounds, non-refundable, and we will "look" at your Company to see if it is worthy to put the name on the car...Wonder how much it is today?

Judging by the opinions in this thread, about £4.50.
