I live in hope! Would like to see Vettel draw level with Hamilton.
Are McLaren back?

F1 teams have become a lot more corporate over the last couple of decades and while that might sound a bit dull, it's better for the people who actually have to work for them! People like Frank Williams, Eddie Jordan etc are borderline crooks once you take away the glamour. Not that I care about such things, but I always thought it was odd that Williams got a knighthood. For what exactly? F1 was all still a bit rock-n-roll even in the 90s and early 2000s, but now it's much like any other high tech industry - except for a few oversized egos due to the money involved. The timescales involved create a lot of unnatural pressure too. I got out of it 10 years ago because I could see the effect it had on older guys and the people I know who continued now have a lot more grey hairs than I do, lol!Rab J wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 6:52 pmI always had a soft spot for Williams but the documentry a couple of weeks back didnt paint either Frank or the company in a very good light. It was surprising to see how much they were flying by the seat of their pants when all looked great from the outside. Robbing Peter to pay Paul was the exclusive property of Eddie Jordan I had thought. It seems Eddie was not the only one with money problems, I wonder just how many of the teams are the same?
