Testing starts today ..... and Williams is out.
Possible reasons from an 'insider' report:
I've spoken with three Williams personnel (two are trackside, one is factory based) and here are the facts about missing T1:
'Parts were 'released' too late to be manufactured on-time and that's the only reason we're missing T1 D1. The missing parts are composite so they are possibly suspension or bodywork related but I wasn't told exactly...and didn't ask. When she/he said the parts were not 'released', they mean the part was not approved and sent out as a full scale model which is then taken to the composite laminators or machining group for manufacture.
Overall morale in the team is "low af". "We're being worked like dogs, treated like s***, and HR is a f***ing joke"
"We're often wondering who's in charge around here"'

Only kidding. Sure Clare of Paddy would not put a driver in a car unless they thought it safe and ready. Kubica will get his turn at the wheel, no doubt soonest.
