Yes, but he squandered the opportunities where big points were for the takingSlife wrote:He didn't lose points because he never got those 40-50 pts in the first place.
Absolutely. Considering the pedigree, and the instant difference in performance and results between 2011 and now, Williams is having a hard time proving in race results that Maldonaldo's win wasn't a fluke for the team. A similar situation is happening in Mercedes, relative to the other top-tier teams with a larger budget; the problem is more with the car, though.Cam wrote:The only thing Williams is loosing is respect, for choosing poor quality drivers with cash over real talent.
You're saying that if he didn't crash in australia he wouldn't have scored 8 points? And that if he didn't crash in Valencia, he wouldn't have scored 15? (and many other examples)Slife wrote:He didn't lose points because he never got those 40-50 pts in the first place.
That's the problem. Results that didn't happen. Unfortunately, at the end of the season, the results won't reflect how close Williams have gotten to really good points and finishes throughout the season. The suits at potential sponsors may not be as diligent in examining race-contexts than the folks on this forumraymondu999 wrote:Are they? Williams IMO have just-under-winning pace right now.

Pastor may be quick, but he's consistently shown himself to be on the edge of disaster if all the variables aren't working out in his favor. You simply cannot talk someone smarter, and that's the problem with Pastor...he's quick at driving, but not at thinking.RB7ate9 wrote:With a bit of stern discussion (ideally with Maldonaldo sitting with Williams, himself), Maldonaldo will improve his racecraft...

I agree. I don't see stating obvious facts as being insults though.morefirejules08 wrote:I always find people that resort to insults in there post so much less credible.jdlive wrote:He reminds me of the guy wearing the yellow helmet.
