What did Williams do to deserve the st drivers and situ they are now in?
One might look at some personnel changes and suggest letting Pat Symonds go at the end of his contract and hiring Paddy Lowe.

Williams really are doing a st job these days.

Such a shame to see a once great team as crap as this.
Last time I remember them not doing a st job was 1997.

I like how he failed to mention driving into the back of someone.

That was the year they won their last championship, with Villeneuve and still in the classic Rothmans livery.

97 was last year of Rothmans and Renault factory involvement. 98 was bad with the crap Mechachrome Renault based sack of an engine. I like the Winfield livery though

So, when they had plenty of sponsorship money, plenty of prize money / decent cut of the pie, and didn't have to take pay drivers.
