Heads Up-- Netflix recently added the movie "Williams" to its streaming selection, at least in the U.S.

Great movie. Goes into F1, Frank, and family issues within the last "owner/operator" team in F1.
Thanks heaps for the heads up mate, I'm just starting to watch it now =D>

On Netflix UK as well.
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Kubica abandoned by Renault
Kyavt by Toro Rosso
Wlr by Sauber
Dir is a reserve driver for two years

All of them have been driving the 2017 spec car except Kubica and we knew the results. Is such test meaningful? No matter who will take the seat, sure will be a below par driver

Embarrassing weekend by Stroll.

Personally (and ive been of this opinion all season, not just after the last race) i think Stroll isnt good enough to race in F1.

Williams have put themselves in a pretty though situation. They desperately need talent.

I do think Kvyat has the raw speed. He just needs his confidence back that's all.

Williams needs someone who is consistent on the other car, that's not Kvyat no matter his potential.

Brazilian press is saying Kubica has signed with Williams to replace Massa next season. They say it's only a matter of time for the official announcement, and there are only some sponsorship details to settle.

Sign Kubica as regular driver then sign Kvyat as backup.

The rumors are growing that Kubica will be in the Williams.

Villeneuve always has some comical comments. He said all Stroll needs is a slower teammate! Embarrassing performance in Brazil.
Honda!

Well, there is a lot of expectation from the fans to see Kubica returning to F1. For Williams that could bring them a lot of interess from sponsorship. If he is going to deliver the performance that once had? I have my doubts.

Regardless the car will garner a LOT of television airplay regardless of his level of performance. Having Kubica drive will allow Williams to monetize that quite a bit better than having Kvyat or DiResta or Wehrlein driving.

Kubica could drive with one foot on the wheel and the other on the pedals and beat Stroll.
