  • Well, for me it is the same with road traffic. Even if you’re not at fault, if there is a chance the incident could’ve been avoided by driving “defensively”, then you should try that.

    But in the end it is just semantics and I guess we agree. Main culprit is sargeant here, but he is from a dangerous driver. I mean, look at what nervousness does to Perez, so it is no wonder that Sargeant doen’t feel all that confident currently.

    Enjoy the rest of the season dude!





  • I have to say I’m really impressed with James Vowles. The way he leads the team by example and shields them from unfair or unjust criticism is just refreshing to see. Williams seem to have a long term plan and want to stick with it, which seems very reasonable to me in this kind of environment. You won’t make any significant progress by changing direction every couple of months.

    I also appreciate the context they provide which is especially important in such a competitive sport. I really hope Sargeant can continue to improve, he seems like a good kid and I wouldn’t want to change seats with him. You could feel the pressure when he tried to force a correction in suzuka qualifying by just using brute force in the last corner. you could feel the desperation and it was horrible.

    Oh, and one other issue. I think the incident in the race with bottas was at least 50/50 between the two. If you watch the replay, sargeant already locks up his front right before valteri is even alongside him and it only got worse after that. Once he unloaded the front left and locked up, there was no stopping the car before the apex. valteri never had a chance making it on the outside. Sure, sargeant locked up, but valteri can’t say he was surprised by this since the lock up already started before he overtook him.
