The brutal cost of Williams’s shocking F1 crash streak
Переглядів 401,531
День томуThe start of the Formula 1 season has been particularly unkind for Williams - with a run of three major crashes across two far-away weekends in Melbourne and Suzuka placing a massive burden on the rebuilding outfit.
In addition to the heavy financial brunt of the accident itself and the embarrassment of running just one car in the Australian GP, Williams won't be able to to escape the major knock-on effects - from the exaggerated travel costs (particularly unwelcome in the cost cap era) and ramped-up workload to the potential effects on its overall 2024 development.
Join us for a closer look at its very particular situation.

It reminds me of the 2009 f1 season with brawn gp only having enough budget for 3 chassis for the entire season, while other teams had double or triple that amount (mclaren had 8), and Button and Barichello had to drive an entire season crash free, and not only did they (mostly) succeed but they won the constructor's and driver's title that year, with Button running in the same chassis the whole season.

The “can barely field two cars consistently” narrative isn’t really helpful because it ignores all of the macro-factors as to why Williams are in that position.

@@Grooove_eWilliams are an independent team. They’re not some big team that had huge financial backing their entire history like say a McLaren. Since bmw ended their relationship in 2005, Williams have been one of the lowest budget teams on the grid (the exceptions being the new teams from 2010 and haas) and it dwindled further when the more expensive hybrid engines came into play. Yes they made poor decisions when it came to hiring certain people eg paddy lowe but you can’t blame the low budget on the Williams family especially when the sport prior to the cost cap was “pay to win”. Theres a reason why they had to go for pay drivers since they had decent sponsorship income just to keep the team afloat.

I kind of feel like, if you don't have the money or resources to build a really good all round car that's fast everywhere, it's not a bad thing to focus on one thing and do that really well. Previously Williams had a car that was nowhere at most tracks but a monster at Monza or Silverstone because it had crazy top speed. Even if they were miles off everywhere else, they could specialise in a few circuits where they knew the car's strengths would enable them to get a really good result. Now they're just kind of beige everywhere, maybe a bit faster overall than last season but at the expense of that explosive pace they had at power tracks. Instead of finishing 15th or 16th most weekends and then getting 7th or 8ths when they hit a track that worked for them, they'll now be 13th or 14th everywhere. Which is good in that over a season their average finishing position will be higher... but 13ths and 14ths don't pay points, and the money is divided up based on points.
@seanonraet8327 Місяць тому

Poor Logan was actually making progress early in the race, but the crap pit stop dropped him 4 spots, and then almost wrecked it again trying to overdrive it. I hope Williams can get back to the front some day.

You’d think a team that’s been in F1 for decades would know the importance of having a spare chassis ready. But bottom feeders in F1 still get to vote out any new team that wants to be competitive. When is F1 going to get rid of the rot?

Williams is the team I'm rooting for as a new fan as well. Mostly because that's who I picked for my first playthrough in F1 Manager 2023. And I had no idea Sargeant was also an American until after I had decided to root for Williams. And being American myself I feel it's only natural I root for a fellow countrymen of mine. The race in Japan was the first I've watched. But I've been watching a lot of videos on the history of F1. As well as videos on cool F1 tech, banned tech and stuff like that etc.

Albon should never drive his team-mate's chassis again, EVER. He's been bit accident prone throughout his Racing career. Not as heavy as some, but not as squeaky clean as others either.
@NomadUniverse Місяць тому
You're in a Williams, you have no spares, no money...but lets try and go 3-wide at turn 3. Everyone blames Daniel for it, but it was lap one. If Alex was faster he could have got him later. He shouldn't have taken that risk. I also dont understand how the FIA lets these under-equipped teams keep competing while turning down fully equipped and funded entries like Andretti. Having enough spares to field two cars after one crash should at least be a minimum requirement.

Bro, it only has been a few races and you are are saying they should fire Albon when he was the sole reason last year for scoring any points at all. If you want to blame someone then why not blame the team for being incompetant and made an undriveable car in the first place.

@IanLoughead Місяць тому
I'm still confused as to why Williams doesn't at least drag along last year's car as a spare. Yes, it would be slow but at leaast it would meat the spec as far as the regulations are concerned and they would haave at least been able to allow Logan to race in Australia and get experience. All this and we didn't want Andreetti because they wouldn't add to the show and not be professional enough.

Ultimately just unlucky, could have gone either way. Pretty rough they gave Logan's chassis to Albon, only for him to not score point with it and to crash that one as well, resulting in 2 damaged chassis with Albon behind the wheel, no points and having shown to not have confidence in Logan with nothing to show for it.
