Such real view. That Monza 2003 GP and the races that followed were some real farces, because of the FIA (Ferrari Insurance Agency) intervention in disqualifying the Michelin tires and forcing the French manufacturer build the new tires in record times. And all of that just because the McLaren 2002b and Williams FW25 were a concrete threat to win the title that year.

@nathanturner5186

Late reply but, the FIA didn’t change the tyre rules, Michelin were found to be breaking the existing rules and actually avoided punishment some how. They were lucky not to have had their results disqualified back to 2001. So yes they had to change their tyres, because they were breaking the rules with the ones they’d supplied until then that season and got found out…

As an NFL fan I'd say maybe the Dolphins are a better example.

Post-quarantine, a review: New ownership, and a new perspective on how Williams have decided to operate in the future. Taking the hydraulics and gearbox (on top of the engine) from Mercedes shows that Williams have decided to take a different direction, as CY mentioned they may need to in order to improve in the future. And as we can see, with 4 points-scoring finishes, a podium and 2 top-3 qualifying positions in the last 5 races show that maybe they are on their way back. Outstanding video my friend, keep it up.

Rest In Peace Sir Frank Williams your legacy in F1 will be forever 💙🤍🙏

48 minutes packed with information! Took me at an hour to watch! About being a constructor: I think Williams forgot to ask themselves at every decision: ‘How much will this contribute to getting points?’. Developing your own gearbox is very romantic but if all teams use carbon fibre and you’re the only one that’s not and your costs are several times higher than the one you can purchase from Mercedes, then you clearly aren’t focussed to winning but focussed on engineering. The same goes for the pedal box. You don’t win races with a pedal box, so just buy one and spend you scarce resources on aero and suspension.

Excellent work! Some thoughts: I remember an interview of Gordon Murray I saw somewhere, he was talking about how things have changed compared to his time at F1 as a Designer at McLaren and the tight-knit committees of "two" or "one" making the decisions and how impossible it is to run a team nowadays - Part of it was old-timer dismissiveness (I think, but hey, the guy's brilliant) but a good chunk of it holds true I believe, especially now - I can't imagine how difficult it must be to turn a team around, especially when morale is down. One more thought, that I think, also holds weight: A convergence of things happening! People "happening", luck and timing - We live in an age that the thought of success, lies exclusively in the notion of carefully executed steps, tight schedules and unrelenting principles of discipline, ad-nauseam buzz words and bar charts - It's the "gift" that the MBA's of the so-called 'business world' used to infect every single aspect of human endeavour, by carefully and gradually removing the sheer luck, pathos,(or passion if you like) perseverance against all odds and sentimentality that rightfully accompanies any difficult effort because without it you cannot and will not win - A state that then, allowed a Ross Brawn to be given a chance without having a degree, a state that now does NOT allow for such 'foolishness' - Its absence playing a major role in the Williams Team's demise as it has in other teams the past 20 or so years. If such parallels would be allowed, SpaceX would not have existed had it not allowed for a culture of 'letting things happen' a 'letting people exist more freely' ethos and the ingenuity that comes out of it - But hey, what do I know, I just like stories and machinery. -Rant complete.

It's just about finding the most challenging topics and telling it in a way that is attractive. but to grow I have to be a bit quicker. thankfully you all are great and i'm able to do this more full time so I can be quicker after this monster. hoping your plan works - we agree on the strategy haha cheers seb!

thanks izzy! I appreciate you subscribing and supporting the chanel :)

This was an amazing watch!

I have just watched four of your videos. I have to say that you are doing a fantastic job with your production and insights. Keep up the excellent work fella. Well done.

A staggering amount of talent has gone through that team. Amazing video, staggering work my man. It's a shame and it's a great thing for F1 if Williams bounces back. IMO.

I watched this when you first released it and enjoyed it then.. I just watched it for a 2nd time just now and I’m still super impressed and enjoyed it just as much. I’ve come to expect that from all of your videos though CY. You make the best documentary style F-1/motorsport videos on the internet for sure.

this video was absolute amazing!

It kinda feels like Williams might be rising back the their old ways again after the double points at Hungary and the amazing quali at Spa

Clearly see the amount of time and effort you've put into this video. Well done it was a good watch👏👏

Another great video! I appreciate all the research and effort you put in. I think your content is top quality. As a youngster in the mid 1990’s, Williams was the only team for me. I really enjoyed the rivalry between Hill’s Williams and Schumacher’s Benetton.

I would love to see you do a video on the 1994 season regarding benetton .

Just noticed the new logo and I love it.

Thoroughly enjoyable video! Nice work! It was great to go through memory lane again. :)

The 2020 season is now four races underway and Williams seems to have improved somewhat (even if it's a flattered picture because Alfa Romeo and Haas have fallen back). There's a good chance at least George Russell will score a point this year. I'm certainly rooting for them!

Thankyou for persistently making really high quality, interesting videos about F1. It’s a breath of fresh air for sure In what can be a pretty toxic community at times lol. Are you planning to do a video on the 2005 and/or 2008 seasons? Thanks

CrankyYankeeF1 I think that a season review video, particularly on 2008, would be really good as it was a close and (quite) controversial season. Even though me and the majority of f1 fans saw/know what happens in this season, it would be cool to see it analysed in a slightly more cut down, race by race way. Idk I just think the season review videos are really good and it would be cool to see your opinions on the controversy (mainly talking about Spa here) I think 2008 is a good representation of Ferrari and it’s ‘special’ relationship with the FIA so it would be an eye opener to people who maybe don’t know why there is a general feeling of fia bias towards Ferrari. It would be interesting for sure and your really good editing skills would definitely make it as if we were rewatching the season again! Thanks

Really enjoyed that. Having a lot of hip problems and that took my mind off the pain. My 2 favourite teams were Williams and McLaren, still are I guess. McLaren have started to claw their way back but I think the only thing that can save Williams will be the rule change (which I think has been moved to '22 now). But great video, very well constructed and presented. Thanks for the hard work.

mclaren have a HUGE influx of saudi money too they can tap. not to mention sellling road cars. I believe that's going to be stroll's play too. he just quietly adjusted his deal with aston like a savage. I suppose you don't become a billionaire just smiling. and it's looking like it might move back to '23 on technical but financial will stay in place. that's LITERALLY impossible. not sure how they expect teams to live. I'm sorry about your pain - that can't be awesome. I'll respond and give you something to research like this whenever I can of course. I'll be picking up videos too. more to come!

@@oxcart4172 Lol. To be honest I'm not sure if it's more or less cost effective. We pay more in tax than you guys do but our health care system is just underfunded. Either way thanks for the message. I've lived with it for a long time now so kind of used to it. Broke and dislocated it at 18, was ok until mid 30's then started having problems. Had a few operations already but nothing's worked so I'm wondering if the problem is what the consultant says it is hence wanting a CT scan. Ok, lol, that's enough! You don't want to hear my medical history in a F1 chat! Really missing the racing this year, was expecting a really good season. Even though they will probably just run this year's cars next year it means the well off teams can do more development work which the little teams just can't afford to do. So instead of seeing a closing up, which I expected this year, the gap might just get bigger. But who knows really. Nothing is certain until we get this virus under control.

Only discovered your channel this week in an attempt to fill the F1 void, and I’ve already watched all of your content, amazing work. The research, editing, narration, all on point, you should be working for Sky F1. Keep up the good work my friend!

Surprised they were never bought out, the glory days are long, long behind them. BMW was the reinvigoration they needed but that was 20 years ago.

They had a few chances to be a manufacturer works eg BMW but turned it down hence why they lost them. When they lost their designers, they lost their edge. I’m not sure why they let it happen maybe out of loyalty for head but similar to Red Bull today, newey isn’t the technical director. They could have done and likely made him happy. Just guessing obviously but they did have a shot just a shame they didn’t take their chances when they had them

yeah it's def up there. in this video you'll see ferrari had a great car of course but they were fighting a chassis on it's knees at that point. and a 21 year old kimi gave schumi a run for his life those seasons. williams won in an era with no restrictions and the best drivers in the world fighting engines capable of double what can be done today. made for a lot more variation and retirements yes but just more upside. I'm figuring out now how to do that video actually haha
