• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

'What's The Problem Over The Years With The Once Dominant Williams Team?'

Williams/Head?
Drivers?
Designer/Chassi?
Engine?
 
Money.

If you have plenty of that, you can afford better designers, engines and drivers.

After Renault pulled out as an engine supplier and tobacco advertising was banned, they've been struggling to get sufficient funds.
Having a major manufacturer providing funds, engines and support helps a lot.
 
You've sparked my memory Ferry.

True money is a big factor but I think the catalyst was the withdrawal of Renault and their lesser years running "Mechachrome"....
 
Frank Williams (miserable git!) and Patrick Head (living in the past).
The money is available, but the above pair have it tucked away in their own accounts.
