Default Williams minus HP - 09-14-2005 , 09:24 PM






So, HP have confirmed that they will not be the title sponsor of the
Williams team next year. No news there I guess.

Anyone have inside info on who might be stepping up to put their name
on that car in '06? I'm assuming that its a British company due to the
Buttongate-II wranglings and Williams' public comments that sponsors
have been signed based on Jenson being at Grove.

It's just all turning to poo for WilliamsF1 isn't it? Cossie engines,
Bridgestone tyres, drivers wanting out, principle sponsors leaving...
What a difference a decade makes.

1) Cossie engines - the winingest engines in history (DFV) - yep, those are
crap

2) Bridgestone - in its first 5 years captured 4 driver's titles and 4
constructor's titles.- yep, those are crap

(With Michelin leaving the sport in 2007 Bridgestone will be the lone
supplier for F1 again.)

Hmmm. Those Williams cars might look smashing in British Airways livery. Ah
just a thought.

I think Sir Frank has gotten by all these years on just a little more than a
wing and a prayer. Lets wait and see what the gentleman has up his sleeve,
you might be surprised.

Brabham were a great team in the early 80s too. How do you think
they'll go next year?

They certainly have been crap this year, and unless the FIA rescind the
current tyre rules, they'll be crap next year as well. Bridgestone
build a great throw-away tyre, but they've been found out...

Speculation. Probably pretty well informed speculation, but
speculation none-the-less.

That's interesting. Has there ever been a team sponsored by an
airline?

I certainly hope so. I've been a Williams fan since I watched a Nigel
Mansell interview on TV in 86 and then have his tyre explode a couple
of days later in Adelaide. I have a horrible feeling they'll be
competing with Red-Bull-Rookie and Midland next year though...

...."No" anti-sin hypocrisy, and an obvious tie-in with their drunkard
imbecile fan base.

Don't forget next year it's V8s and neutered V10s. We do not know at
all how each engine supplier will fare. On paper one would expect
Honda, Ford and Ferrari to do quite well straight out of the blocks.
Not so sure about he Bimmers and Mercs, although you can never
overlook those guys.

Indeed. It was the Ferrari package what made the Bridgestones. I don't
think that had Ferrari been on Michis, they woudl have fared any worse
than they did in the last 5 years.

I kinda recall Saudi Air on a green and white car ?
Also Lauda.

Same here, but since the Jones, Reuteman days.. cca '78-80.

Let's just wait and see. Either that or you will have to go and have a
long talk with FW. ;-)

Close, Saudi Air sponsored a team. Alan Jones, who else drove?
They were quite successful as I recall and I wish I could recall more.

A complete arsehole when Ferrari were winning...not much different since
they won what they deserve without cheatin' (says a lot for Tifosi yobbo's)
F2005 100 of 100...for trolling!
