Sad to see Perez go if true but Son of Magnus would be a good pick up for the team.

If Massa is at Williams and they're paying him to drive, can they charge sponsors more money for the real estate on the car by virtue of having a bigger name driver like massa in it? would this bigger name driver cause the director to point the camera at the Williams a little bit more often?

I'd have liked to have seen Rubens in 2012 - I think he would have outscored Maldonado comfortably. He would have been quicker than Senna and more consistent than Maldonado!But would he have won in Catalunya?

He was always 2nd to Schumacher in the Ferrari dominance era and also at Brawn when they came good again Barrichello couldnt do enough to win the WDC and was beaten by Jenson!Ferrari man 009 wrote:Finished 10th in 2010 in an ok Williams (was nothing special that season). 2011 wasnt a good season but the Williams was as bad then as it was this year.

Particularly if we see a repeat of their antics from 2012...It would only be like 2010 if the team decided to back one driver and nobble the other. If they let them race with equal equipment that would be great
And if they build a race-winning car.... It could be 2010 all over again with the championship contenders crashing into each other...
