And Williams is still behind without a backup chassis https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/al...80cp_JA.Vbb5eh

I didn't read Vowread comments against excel but rather a misuse of the tool.

They should put up a GoFundMe page, Dorilton isn't doing them any good at all. They can't be up against the spending cap.

I've read all their problems as being behind on investment and having to change internal processes. That is the argument Vowles made last year with capital investments and now with Excel spreadsheets. It's insane they ran the the car build in excel.

in FP1 they were saying from the pits Haas was still figuring out their wheel nuts. Specifically, what torque to spin them on with

Williams and HAAS amateurism…. The irony as it relates to denying Andretti entry is truly remarkable.

Where are T cars when we need them?????? I feel for Logan even though Alex is one of my favourites...


And I'm sure glad Helmut isn't my boss: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/ma...aces/10590054/

Max "plans" to stay at RedBull until 2028.

Ok, but why isn’t there a spare chassis? Is it a Williams budget issue, a FIA regulation, a calculated risk based on probability of needing a spare chassis? I’m pretty sure Sainz needed a new chassis after the manhole incident in Vegas. Ferrari were prepared and are still trying to get their $2m in damage reimbursed.

Anything that takes away from on track experience for the fans whether it’s a car, a team member, tire rationing, etc needs to be addressed. This is F1 ffs, the self proclaimed “pinnacle of motorsports” and at times its being run like a college student on a stipend.

This is a YouTube vid of a podcast called "High Performance" where they had James Vowels on. I REALLY like this guys but you can tell how much needed to be done there and how behind the curve they are. It will take a number of years to get this ship right sided. Lastly, I dont think the issue is Dorilton funding. Its cost cap at this point and what they spend on infrastructure.
