Formula 1 team - Williams Racing [FW44]

[Kenny]

Stvarno to je nagađanje. Meni je dosta jasno kakva je situacija u Williamsu trenutno, zbog toga je tu i Maldonado, a vjerovatno neke izglede za to ima i Senna sad. Ove sezone me Williams podsjeća na Minardi jer im je bilo najvažine da imaju vozača koji donosi lovu ko i ove sezone Williamsu, a nadam se da će se to uskoro promjenit ipak je došlo dosta promjena u Williams

EDIT: 5. rječje: possible

[F1NAC]

neznam ja što oni glume. Jednostavno neka odluče i to je to , jer vozač treba paralelno s ekipom radit u stvaranju novog auta , a ne tu za*ebavat se

[gringo73]

I kad pogledaš unazad, od 2005 pa sad iduću sezonu, motori; BMW, Cosworth, Toyota, pa opet Cosworth i dogodine Renault. Toliko teturanje zasigurno ne može bit baš dobro. Ali mislim da bi bi nakon BMW-a, ovaj deal s Renaultom trebao napokon biti dobar, samo da potraje...

Da sigurno nemože bit dobro, ali od kako je BMW otišo iz Williamsa ni nisu imali izbora da uzmu neki bolji motor, Cosworth je bio dosta dobar motor vrtio se na 21000 okretaja, ali je bio nepouzdan i 2006 se nije mogo razvijat motor tako da im se nije isplatilo bit s njima. Nakon 2009 jel su i mogli imat i dalje Toyotine motore? a Cosworth su valjda izabrali zato jer je dosta jeftin bio i one glupe Mosleyeve ideje o univerzalnom motoru. Sad nevjerujem da može bit puno bolje sa Renaultovim motorom jer su Mercedesovi i Ferrarijevi motori dosta jači od Renaultovih, a svi osim Lotusa iz sredine poredka imaju Ferrarijeve i Mercedesove motore, tako da ih jedino može jako dobar bolid spasit, a za vozača bi volio vidit Sutila jer se pokazo dosta dobar za razliku od Senne koji je samo par puta bio dobar

[F1NAC]

Renaultov motor je imao najveću prednost kod blown difuzora , a tog više nema

[Kenny]

Jel ima kakve novosti za Williams jel se zna ko će vozit za njih? manje od mjesec dana je do prvih testiranja, a nezna se drugi vozač, nemaju sponzora ovo mi neizgleda ni malo dobro kako je stanje u Williamsu

[Alonso-champ]

Sebastien Buemi reportedly received an offer from Williams to drive for them in 2012

Izvor:Autorace

[Kenny]

hm, pa nedavno su u RBRu objavili da im je Buemi treći vozač

[Alonso-champ]

Pa dobio je samo ponudu od Williamsa,nije receno da ce primiti..

[F1NAC]

ako vec zicaju toro rossovce neka uzmu onda Alguersuarija, bolji je od Buemija .

[Kenny]

ako vec zicaju toro rossovce neka uzmu onda Alguersuarija, bolji je od Buemija .

Po meni nije Alguersuari toliko bolji od Buemija, Buemi je skoro u svim trkama prve polovice sezone bio brži od Alguersuarija, dok je predkraju Alguersuari bio brži, ali su tad i osvojili više bodova. Ja bi najrađe htjeo da dođe Sutil, meni je on najbolji od ovih koji nemaju mjesto za iduću sezonu

[F1NAC]

Sponsor says Senna will race with Williams in 2012

hm ovo ti i ne stoji baš , Alguersuari je od Canade bolji u svakoj trci osim Mađarske i Njemačke ( di nije ni jedan osvojio bod)

[King iCool]

hm, pa nedavno su u RBRu objavili da im je Buemi treći vozač

Kao da bi to bio kakav problem...pa i de la Rosa je prosle godine tijekom sezone uskočio umjesto Pereza u Kanadi a bio je Mclarenov 3. vozač.Uz neki sitni novac to se brzo riješi a možda ima i neku klauzulu u ugovoru.

[Slash]

Aj super, još da Williams napravi neš bolje od ovogodišnje kante pa da mali Senna pokaže kaj zna...

[Kenny]

Baš sam se nado da će doć Sutil, bilo bi mi žao da nema mjesto u F1, a pokazo se do sad puno boljim od Senne, ajd da imaju drugog vozača koji je dobar pa se onda može Senna dovest u tim, a ovako i nisam siguran da mogu bit jako dobri

[F1NAC]

pa još nije gotovo, to je glas Senninog sponzora williams nije još niš objavio

[Alonso-champ]

Izhleda da je pitanje dana kad,ce proglasiti Sennu za drugog pilota

Senna will be announced as soon Williams driver.

Bruno Senna is listed on the Williams website as having joined the team as a driver alongside Maldonado.

Senna joins Williams for 2012

Q. Now you've been confirmed as a Williams driver, what are your thoughts heading into 2012?

Bruno Senna: I'm really happy to be a part of a team with such a fantastic heritage. I am very proud that Williams has chosen me to race in what will be an important year for them. Everyone is extremely motivated for 2012 and it is great to be part of that motivation. It is true that they didn't have the best season last year, but it is clear that the team is on a new path and everyone is pulling together to ensure that this year is a better one. I really hope that I can demonstrate what I can do, not only for the team, but for myself. It's going to be interesting to see what we can achieve together.

Q. What are your objectives for the 2012 season?

BS: It's difficult to set objectives before the season starts, but I intend to push the car 100% to the limit to get the maximum performance we can from it.

Q. What are your thoughts on the Renault engine having raced with it last season and what do you think Renault can bring to Williams in 2012?

BS: After a few races with the Renault engine in 2011, I've learnt a great deal about it. It is a very good unit with good drivability, which is another positive step forward for the team. As a driver, you need to have every weapon available to you operating at its optimum in order to put in competitive times throughout the race. I'm sure we can develop the car even further with the Renault engine and it will be interesting for me to be able to give the team feedback applying my previous experiences.

Q. What do you make of your new team mate, Pastor Maldonado?

BS: Pastor is a great driver. I've raced against him in GP2 and we always get along well. He's been a very tough opponent in the past and he is going to be even tougher now we are both in the same car. We'll certainly be trying to beat each other, but as teammates we're going to work together to move the team forward.

Q. Can you talk us through what you have been working on at the factory so far?

BS: I've been at the Williams factory in Grove both before and after Christmas being really put through my paces in the simulator, on the track and in the gym. We've also done some evaluation work on the track (but not in an F1 car). The main purpose was for the team to evaluate me and to understand how to get the best out of me as a driver. But it's also been really useful for me as it familiarises me with all the procedural things, such as learning the layout of the steering wheel before I get into the real car. When we start testing I won't need to think about that so I'll just be able to get on and drive the FW34.

Q. So you have had an opportunity to work with your new engineers?

BS: I think we've started off really well and now I'm looking forward to working with them more over the season. The relationship between a driver and engineer is something that few people can understand. You need mutual respect, to understand each other well and know how to work together in order to really gel from the start. That relationship and continuity can make such a difference to your overall performance.

Q. What started your career in motorsport?

BS: I was a motorsport fan from a young age and of course there has been a great influence from my uncle, but ever since I first put my feet into a go-kart I never wanted to do anything else. I'm very privileged to be able to do what I love, as to race in Formula One has always been my dream.

Q. You were once quoted as saying that, given the chance to drive any legendary Formula One car from the past, you would choose the 1993 active-suspension Williams. How important is it to you to now be a part of a team with such a motorsport heritage?

BS: The team has an amazing history and walking around the museum just makes me drool! I've seen many of these cars on track and always wondered how it would feel to actually race them. I've never been in one, so I think it would be good to get a run in the active ride car at Goodwood, just to get a feel!

Q. You have considerable support from Brazil, can you tell us about that?

BS: I feel very proud to be Brazilian right now. Knowing I have such great support behind me, people who have been there since the start, gives me such a great feeling. Knowing people have chosen me to bear their name gives me even more motivation to create good memories for them.

Q. Your uncle, Ayrton, raced for Williams. How significant is it for you to be joining the team?

BS: It will be very interesting to drive for a team that my uncle drove for. Quite a few of the people still here actually worked with Ayrton and I'm happy that they are now giving me the chance to prove myself here. Hopefully we can bring back some good memories and create some great new ones too.

Q. Fast forward to this time next year, what achievements would you be happy with?

BS: I hope that by the end of 2012 we can say we extracted 100% of the performance from the Williams-Renault FW34, whatever that may be. That is the most important thing. I just want to get the maximum possible out of the car and make the most of this opportunity. It is such an important year for both the team and myself as it will help shape my future. I hope that future will be long and successful, and it all starts here.

[F1NAC]

bye bye Rubinho ..

[Kenny]

I bilo je za očekivat da Rubens odlazi, ja sam više htjeo Sutila, ali bar napokon znamo ko će za njih vozit. Sutil se po meni do sad pokazo boljim, ali ima i vremena za Brunu da se pokaže i nadam se da će se pokazat jer samo lova neznači puno

Koliko vidim na Bruninoj majci da imaju dosta novih sponzora, a nadam se da će i od glavnog sponzora uspjet uzet dosta love

[F1NAC]

hm embratel je Sennin sponzor , Renault (njihove motore koriste od sljedece godine ) koji jos je novi bar ja ne vidim osim sto su maknuli AT&T

[Alonso-champ]

A nek se i to rjesilo,zao mi Rubinha sto se nije oprostio na zadnjoj utrci,jos u Brazilu,pa dobro,nije mogao znati,da ce mu biti to zadnja utrka...pa neka se Bruno pokaze,slabiji auto ne moze biti od ovog zadnjeg....

[Kenny]

hm embratel je Sennin sponzor , Renault (njihove motore koriste od sljedece godine ) koji jos je novi bar ja ne vidim osim sto su maknuli AT&T

Na rukavima ih ima više nego do sad

OGX, Gilette, Embratel, H&S svi sponzori Senne a skupili su oko 14 milijona €. Ako itko čitao ovaj spodnji tekst onda možda je ipak bila opcija za Barichella u slučaju, da se Bruno ne pokaže dovoljno dobrim. A kako je Rubens veliki optimista vjerovatno se nadao do kraja, da če on dobit mjesto.

Bruno Senna insists that his capture of a Williams seat for 2012 was not just down to sponsorship - after revealing the exhaustive tests he was put through to show he was good enough for the drive.

The Brazilian is bringing welcome backing from a number of sponsors, including long-time supporter Embratel, to a Williams team that is recovering from its worst ever season in F1.

And although it was no secret that Williams had financial considerations to make, Senna was put through challenging simulator, fitness and track tests to ensure he was good enough to join the former champions.

When asked by AUTOSPORT during a team teleconference if he felt the tests had proven that his signing was not just because of his sponsors, Senna said: "I am sure about that.

"They have been putting us through the paces with all sorts of testing, and they did not even talk about the sponsorship at the start - they wanted to assess me before anything else.

"The only way they would give me the chance was if they were comfortable with my performance. We did several tests and with that I am confident I can deliver."

As well as being evaluated on the Williams simulator, Senna worked with famous racing instructor Rob Wilson to further run through his capabilities.

"We did a few days with Rob, and a few simulator days, and all of these have been essential for the team's confidence. They put me through the paces and it was quite interesting to learn a few things.

"I've been with Rob before for a bit when I came to England, but after so many years of racing, being with him again was much different and much more productive."

Williams chief operations engineer Mark Gillan said that the team was adamant that it would go for the best driver it could - rather than the one offering the highest money.

"From our side we had an extensive driver evaluation programme with a handful of drivers, and we made the final decision based on raw pace, consistency, tyre management, technical feedback and mental capacity - and most importantly the potential impact they would have on the team," he said.

"I think in all those areas it was very clear that Bruno has not had a lot of experience in single seater racing, but has consistently shown improvement and real talent.

"From our side, on the operations side, we are looking forward to working with him in what is an extremely important year for Williams regarding the relative poor season we had last season."

Gillan confirmed that Adrian Sutil had been on the shortlist of candidates for the drive, but in the end it was decided not to pursue a tie-up with him.

"I don't want to specifically talk about individual drivers, but Adrian was in our plans. However, based on everything that was laid out, Bruno for me and the team was the best way forward."

Ovo je tako nevjerovatna vijest, da mi se čini da sanjam. Bruno.....
