Alright when was that again.....?
- Thread starter Bram Hengeveld
- Start date
I think 2021 will be explosive... in the good way... old and new talents, 2 great drivers in RedBull's cars and old talents in other midfield competitive cars (Alonso and vettel)... With the hope few more teams (Ferrari, Renault Alpine, and new old Aston Martin exRacing point) would be able to catch up with Merc and fight for the win...
Perez deserved this seat much more than Hulk or Albon... it will be good to see Max under pressure at last!

I'll be interesting to see how he fairs against Verstappen, it'll be the first time Verstappen has had a quality teammate since Ric.

On a purely selfish level. Hang in there, Frank. You've still got work to do. And in all seriousness. Get well soon, Frank. You've still got work to do.
Jesus dude. Kick him while he's down.
Sorry, but I have to stick up for Frank. The man, through sheer grit and determination, willed into existence one of the winningest Formula 1 teams of all time. A team which won 9 constructors championships across 2 distinct eras after early struggles - even failures - that would have left most mortals disheartened, if not outright broken.
Did he attract, hire, and push to the absolute limit a host of brilliant on and off track talent that went on to bring him loads of glory and accolades? Yes, guilty as charged!
If anything, Formula 1 became broken, not Frank. Things have gotten progressively more "corporate" over the years and, yes, possibly that has lead to Formula 1 no longer being the kind of place for a Frank Williams to make a name for themselves.
That makes me sad and the thought of the sport becoming increasingly populated by Toto Wolff clones - with their $200 haircuts, slick political manueverings, and board of directors pleasing soundbites - does not fill me full of optimism for the future of the sport.
So I say thank you, Frank. Formula 1 would not have been the same without you.
The point I made hardly required elaboration.

Good luck to Perez. Looking at the 2021 calendar and including giving few races to "know the team and car", I will say around Canada/France we will start getting "they should put Hulk/Gasly/Albon/Tsunoda instead of Perez". 
All the best Sir Frank Williams and swift recovery.
You do know that Williams had won three world championships before Newry had even come along?
And you do know that Frank set up Williams twice having lost it all to Walter Wolf? Before Patrick was even involved in motor racing?
Frank and Patrick are were a brilliant team, complementing each other well. Newry was only at Williams for six years or so.
I really wonder if you know anything about pre 90s F1.
I'm not sure he meant it the way it read - an unintentional faux pas perhaps.
Sir Frank is a fighter - he's the longest surviving person with his medical issues in the world, and resilient as nails. Anyone who is British and follows Motorsport loves Williams, so let's all hope Frank is out of hospital soon.
Not all icons of the sport are the drivers. He certainly is one.
Mercedes turned the engine power down.
