Pat Symonds is not the technical director of Williams anymore. Come on. You should know it!

something went horribly wrong posting i see. i'm missing a lot. i'll fix it in a minute

* edit: there, dunno what happened but something went crazy.

[Fulcrum]

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

[TEHNOS]

Does it'

[dren]

Supposed to decide this week from what I've read.

[netoperek]

Paddy and Claire said they hope to reach a decision before christmas

[RedNEO]

Apparently it is indeed Sirotkin.

[Manoah2u]

Apparently it is indeed Sirotkin.

o.O if that's so then and may they slide all the way to the back again.

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

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.
