Today it has been announced that Toto Wolff will become an Executive Director of Williams Grand Prix Holdings PLC with immediate effect to assist and support Team Principal Sir Frank Williams. Wolff, whose daughter Susie is also officially Williams F1's test driver was previously a Non-Executive Director.
This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
sure williams has a car good enough to warrant steady points finishes with a pair of safe hands -Barrichello would have hauled an awful lot of points already...sure that would at least offset the sponsorship one of the two payguys bring-also in attracting more sponsorship AND boosting the share value...big mistake methinks
Williams a annoncé ce lundi matin la démission surprise de son directeur d'équipe, Adam Parr. Le Britannique quittera l'écurie dès le 30 mars. Parr était pourtant désigné comme le successeur de Frank Williams.

One can only speculate. Bernie Ecclestone has said that Toto Wolff needs to take more control on the shareholder side.
And Williams did not figure in the list of teams that have signed the new Concord agreement. That could mean that Parr who has set the policy there did not come to a satisfying deal with Ecclestone.
Williams and Parr may be at logger heads over this issue which is by far the most important of the policy issues of the last few days. If Sir Frank is dissatisfied with the resulting pay out for his team that could have been the cause of the re think. Williams used to be a team with big political influence in the past. If they are now positioned in a lower earning scheme than Force India it could be reason for dissatisfaction.
And if Williams made a last moment gesture to Ecclestone in order to also get preferential treatment Ecclestone could have called for Parr's head on a silver tablet and the mid term passing of authority to Wolff.

I just can't get past the thought that this team does not have much further to go. FW and PH just haven't been able to step away from the team as they should have done years ago. It's seemingly taken a monumental effort to get some new technical people in.

Barrichello? like he performed at his Indy debut?
Barrichello is miles better that those two. I didn't watch St.Pete, but read that he ran out of fuel. Also read that at Sebring he was right on the pace out of the box. Senna performed surprisingly well this time, but apart from this unusual race he's never stood out to me. Except when his team in sportscars had to retire because they ran out of nosecones after Bruno's umpteenth clumsy accident. Then there's the quick but thick Maldonado, who seems to think he's the Terminator or something.

I wouldn't hold anything against Barrichello's performance in Indy yet. New car; different grip/downforce levels; different tyres; different engine, so on and so forth.

I have no idea. But it may indicate that he did not like to deal with Parr.

I was surprised by Parr's resignation but WB's posts shed light on the subject. It could only be money, makes a lot of sense...
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.
