Sadly I think Williams are on their way out just like Jordan. I respect Sir Frank for not selling and for remaining a privateer but to be at the top you need heaps of money!

On the drivers, I don't think Wurz will do much. I would rank him similar to Trulli, shining one day terrible the next :shock: :shock:

Wurz got his first podium on his 3rd race in 1997, he only got a second one racing for McLaren in 2005 :shock:
And didn't Flavio drop him. Shouldn't that be a sign :wink:

hmmmm there is some young driver in F1 now that got his podium on his 3rd race, some sort of shape, A Kube ? 8)

Well if Flavio has dropped Wurtz and that is bad because Flavio is a good judge of talent ... then that would be good for Webber... yes???

Even Flavio gets it wrong every once in a while 8) :lol:

But before I get shot, Webber is talented no doubt :D

Back to Wurz, I think he had his chance at Benetton but didn't capitalise on it.

For now Williams has good financial backing. Their agreement with Toyota takes care of most of the monetary issues. But that could change if Toyota has a dreadful season and decides to withdraw from F1. That'd spell doom on Williams. Otherwise they'll be with us until the end of 2009... Toyota engines may not be the best available but combined with the aero input from both Toyota and Williams they should be able to get somewhere soon (read: end of 2007).

Wurz-wise I agree with you 100%. :up:

As for the comment on the Kube... Well, I do believe in him :D

Webber is good. Once he drives for Renault he'll be even better :wink:
