Sargeant does not have money behind him. His uncle is wealthy but he stopped contributing to Logan's career when he was in F3. Williams kept him because he was improving towards the end of last year, several of the crashes were mechanical failures and there weren't any available alternatives who looked like an obvious upgrade.

Maybe it will be different this year although AKA has not had a particularly auspicious start in F2.

This is a pretty big indictment on Williams for not having the capacity to make another car. Spares are tight at the start of the year yes, but to have no capacity what so ever to make another chasis is a huge indictment on the team.

don't forget they're in Australia. Had this happened in Europe, getting spare parts would have been less of a problem.
I remember already in the 90's that Australia meant hoping nothing would go wrong.

Vowles said the lack of a spare tub is a direct result of whatever struggles they had getting the car ready in time for testing, making this indeed a very 90s problem :o

Practice means nothing, but is Hamilton 18th on pace or with issues?


According to Sir Ham, they made setup changes between FP1 and FP2 that took the car massively in the wrong direction. They will apparently reset it to whatever George used and try again.

funny that Mercedes keeps messing up setup from one session to another, not the first time

Lewis is definitely going to have a Daniel Ricciardo season, be kept out of the new developments and what setup actually works with this diva bitch of a car, lose confidence in the car and the team and just end his mercedes career with a whimper

Oh well, there are brighter days ahead Sir, as long as he keeps motivated with the sport in a whole, this will just be his worst season and soon forgotten if Ferrari do well enough to give him a compettitive machine

looks like Mercedes copied the worst characteristic of the Red Bull that is a setup that needs so much fine tuning that changing everything is a recipe for disaster

Vowles currently making a good argument for him resigning/getting sacked. What a clusterfuck. Three races in and spare parts are low and no spare chassis.

Williams went under huge changes in the last pre-season and this explains why they're lacking spare parts right now. So, in a certain way this was expected. Thing is, this has to pay off.

Felt like the harder compound was the one to be on, The softs couldn't last a lap

This might change with the change in temp between P3 and qualfying/all the extra rubber laid down/rain washing of the rubber (lolololol) and whatever else

The softs will be awful in the race, it'll be pit on lap 10 and easily run to the end
