Formula 1 2013

lol.....

It may be just me but I feel for quiet some time that 'Fasta Pasta Nando's' is just reckless in F1? I'm so surprised he still in an F1 seat after all the reckless accidents he has caused????

Why? He can actually drive a bit when he isnt doing stupid stuff and he brings in masses of money to Williams. It is easier to stop a driver doing dumb shit than it is to make a slow driver quick. So they will keep him until either his money runs out or they can find someone faster (With money).

I think the key words here are the ones underlined in bold.

that is what its all about theses days!

ohhhh......and with out that financial backing......he certainly would not be in an F1 seat IMO.

He isnt looking at all like a race winner or even fast this year. That hat goes to the Finnish team mate

Yeah Bottas is beating him but neither look like race winners given the car isnt much chop. But the reality is nowadays you dont make it through the junior formula without bulk coin and even into F1 without backing.

Have a look at what rubbish aero has done to their share price.

one quarter of basketball, thats all you need to play to win a championship

that pressure

...and rubbish global financial systems. Though another le Mans win with their tech and the new green series next year all provide funding to Williams Engineering ... if not Williams F1.

Its a shame they had such a good car last year ... you wonder how much Toto and Gillan leaving rattled the ranks focus.

Think the two companies are under one listing on the German SX?

You never know how much influence any one person has on the car design or the business or if it just that the wind tunnel calibration is shit. See how Sam Michael is going at McLaren for example or how Ferrari went in the last few years.

nailed it

Joke...slap on the wrists...I suppose as I suspected thats what happens when you are one of two manufacturer teams in the sport = protected species

[hrd-hr30]

no, that's what happens when FIA signs a contract with a tyre supplier permitting testing despite the sporting code banning it, then tells a team "OK, you can go to the test with the 2013 cars as long as Pirelli are running the test" and then backflips when other teams complain...
