How long will Williams delay signing a second driver? The longer this drags out, the more likely it seems Sirotkin will get the seat.

How do you know ?
I would have thought Kubica would be a more explosive signing

Allegedly word is starting to get out..

Could be a tactic but I already suspected they had gone in that direction. Seems like he really surprised/impressed Williams in Abu Dhabi to the point they couldn’t look past him and has solid Russian backing.

Hmmmm..........

Thanks for the link
I dunno about Saward, he's pretty arrogant but does seem to have some paddock connections.

He gets it right about 70% of the time

Hungarian Motorsport claims Kubica has singned a deal today. I'd say it's as reliable as Saward's tweet.
We'll know for sure when it's official - otherwise it's all rumors.
