Bad to worse for Williams

[Ryan Hayes]

There's rumours that this "other" telecom company is Embratel. If true, we know who the second driver is.
Fingers crossed.

Kinda called this yesterday! would be a very bitter-sweet moment. Bruno back in formula one but also forcing the retirement of one of F1's most loyal servant... we shall see..

I hope is not Bruno Senna, like those rumours say... seriously.

He's been to the factory - but then, so has Barrichello. It's most likely to be between those two or Sutil as an outside chance.

Yes but Barrichello is still contracted to the end of Jan or something like that. So he will still be required, and of course still discussing a possible new contract

 

[Chris Shepherd]

I hope Rubens get his drive.

 

[António da Cunha]

Between Bruno and Rubens, I would pick Rubens at any day.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

And i hope it´s Sutil, i think he´s the best of the rest without a contract or test role.

It's between three drivers, Barichello, Sutil and Senna.
Williams needs money BADLY, so it's rational to assume that they will have a third driver for FP1 to rake in some extra cash.
Out of those three guys, Senna is probably the only one willing to take that role.
Therefore, in order to maximize their profits, Williams won't take him as a main driver because then they won't have a third driver (unless they find someone completely different, such as Bottas).
After that, it's between Sutil and Barrichello. Sutil probably got a little bit more cash and a future, Barichello got more experience and better coordination with the engineers/mechanics.
It's a 50/50 thing, there's really no way to know. Personally, I'd pick Sutil.

 

[Luke McVicar]

Its a no Brainer, Sutil is by far the best driver from those 3, i can't believe its even being discussed.

Bottas is already third driver and will drive in practice sessions, I'm sure.
I hope it's Rubens, but if I were in charge, I'd take Sutil in all honesty.

i hope the Renault engines help them climb the grid this year.. fingers crossed for the 3rd longest team in F1

Nice, will be interesting to see Senna vs Maldo even though i think Williams is making a big mistake by not signing Sutil.
Sutil is a very good, solid driver.
