ErikA Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 It will be very interesting to see how they get on. Stroll showed flashes of brilliance, but also moments of immaturity last season. Great to see Kubica brought on as a reserve driver. Not the role he would have wanted, but gives him a lifeline back to F1.

KevinJ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Too bad they have to use pay drivers. I would have liked to see Alonso move over to them. My guess is they need the money to stay alive. Hopefully Kubica can help develop the car for them. Fingers crossed! Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
al k Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 +1 on Stroll, I want him to be more than "daddy bought me this seat", especially because he's Canadian! Quote Link to comment
malcolm Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 +1 on Stroll, I want him to be more than "daddy bought me this seat", especially because he's Canadian! exactly although Williams do produce world champs from the 2nd gen drivers; Villeneuve and Hill come to mind, Quote '21 Macan GTS PDK Miami Blue/Black, 7k kms '93 928 GTS 5 speed Polar Silver/Linen, 192k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Black/Ivory, 190k kms '09 Cayenne GTS Tiptronic Nordic Gold/Black, +336k kms '88 928 S4 A/T Red/Champagne, 110k miles (US car) Link to comment
al k Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 ...as an aside, there is a fantastic documentary on Netflix about the family & history of Williams Racing. Incredible insights into the world of F1 and Frank's journey... Quote Link to comment
ErikA Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 On the doc front, apparently there will be an Amazon Prime doc on McLaren's 2017 season coming out that is billed as having an unprecedented level of access to the inner workings of the team, including Zak Brown's efforts to find title sponsorship. https://jalopnik.com/new-amazon-documentary-series-goes-inside-mclarens-awfu-1821963805 Quote Erik 2001 911 Turbo X50 1980 911SC - Black, 3.2 litre short stroke SOLD! 2002 BMW M3 - Carbon Black over Cinnamon Link to comment
