Rumours could be that there are money issues, even though it was stated only as recently as today that they would be going nowhere when Big Frank was quoted as saying “In the next few years, we will not sell. We would sell no more than shares, the name Williams is staying in Formula One.”
Other rumours say that like BMW, maybe Williams are starting to focus an awful lot on getting the car right for the big jump to 2009, hopefully reigniting the glory days of the 90’s?
With a great driver package in the shape of Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima, things should be looking up and they could have a lot to do for the back end of the season.
I sincerely hope they are this bad because they are looking to the 09 package, because it pains me to see them struggling.
Prediction: More of the same disappointment. I just hope the drivers don’t lose heart and can maybe stay loyal and get a chance in a good car next year.
Honda
What becomes of loyal employees? They say good things come to those who wait, and I hope this is the case for Jensen Button. He has stuck with Honda through thick and thin. He is an excellent driver and is definitely capable, but the package just hasn’t been there.
Honda has always said 2007 and 2008 were transitional years, where development would be very slow and they wouldn’t be performing as well as they should be expected to.
With the arrival of the master that is Ross Brawn just ahead of the 2008 season, a lot of things looked up. Now there are rumours floating about the possible arrival of Fernando Alonso, but then again, which team hasn’t been linked with the "Incredible Sulk" this season?
So, Honda's form into the back end of the season won’t be good. Some very low finishes are ahead. To get into the points, they are going to have to get a big chief to perform a rain dance, and you watch Ross “The Tactical Wizard” Brawn get to work.
Toro Rosso
Red Bull sister team Toro Rosso may have a master at the helm, but not much has been going on in terms of results. The speed is there, but it’s been a bad consistency theme that has ran for the majority of the season for Sebastian United.
