Mnogo me nerviraju ove karbonske liverije, zbog borbe da se ustedi svaki gram, dosta su tamne i lice jedna na drugu. Bas su mogli nesto bolje da smisle...

[Romantik]

Bas na autosportu ima tekst o tome. Autor se nada da ce za sledecu sezonu da se uvede pravilo o minimalnoj povrsini koja mora biti obojena, nadam se da ce biti tako, jer ovako su bas previse slicni.

Evo ga i pravi ovogodisnji Vilijams:

Williams team principal James Vowles said Sargeant’s lock-up at turn four during the race, which briefly brought him to a stop, was caused by a fault on his steering wheel.

 

“Drivers are frequently adjusting what’s happening with the brake bias and how much the brake migrates forwards and backwards,” he explained in a video released by the team. “There’s a rotary [dial] to be able to do that, and in that circumstance what happened is all of a sudden the brake bias went very, very forward. You saw that with the front locking he had.

 

“The car was otherwise fine, but clearly we could not have uncommanded moving of that brake bias and we need to understand that immediately. That sort of fault is critical both for racing and also safety.”

 

Sargeant finished last, two laps down as a result of the delay. He said the problem happened before.

 

“It was frustrating as we had the steering wheel electronics issue in qualifying and then it returned,” he said, “so the most important thing is that we need to understand the root cause of this and get it fixed.”

The latest crash suffered by a Williams driver will delay their upgrade programme later in the season.

Ovo samo dokazuje koliko je Albon zapravo loš i kolika truba je Sardžent. Nisu oboje sposobni prići radikalnom bolidu na pravi vozački način. Albon ove godine ko Sains 2022. Užas. A Vilijams spao na tolike niske grane da je to jezivo. Vaus brani Logana kao ovo ono, izgovora koliko hoćeš koje pogone novci koje donosi. Zašto pobogu na konto Mercedesovog ugovora nisu uzeli Vestija? 

 

Vilijams ide u propast sa Albonom/Sardžentom. I ako 2025 ne uspeju napraviti mašinu za 2026 e onda mogu lagano da prodaju tim. Žao mi je ali tako je. Još malo pa će 10 godina od kako su imali pošten bolid za trkanje. Sve ovo ostalo je loše u globalu. Hoće li 2026 biti nova 2017?

Williams potentially replacing Logan Sargeant with Mercedes protege Kimi Antonelli during the 2024 Formula 1 season has emerged as a credible prospect, although any such move is not thought to be imminent.

 

Reigning Formula Regional European champion Antonelli has bypassed Formula 3 and stepped straight into Formula 2 this season at 17 years old.

 

He emerged as a surprise contender for a Mercedes F1 seat for 2025 but is now linked with getting on the F1 grid before then.

Logan Sargeant has been told to improve his performance or risk losing his seat, Williams team principal James Vowles has confirmed.

 

Vowles indicated the team could make an announcement on the future of its driver line-up within the coming weeks.

 

[alpiner]

Sargeant je imao sreće da uleti dok su ostali Totovi vozači imali angažmane. Sada je situacija potpuno drugačija. Malog Kimija treba staviti na stažiranje, Bottas je dobio pedalu iz Saubera, Ocona treba negde ubaciti ako ne ide u Mercedes.

Williams team principal James Vowles says they are “open-minded” about the possibility of changing their driver line-up before the end of the season
