    Agree, for comical relief...

    If you can’t beat them, buy them!

    I wouldn't say that Williams "has been in decline for a decade or more" because as recently as three years ago, they finished third in the championship, ahead of Red Bull! And the year before, again third, ahead of Ferrari!

    And as for Kubica, I think it has been determined that while he can be fast in testing, his arm does not have the stamina to run a full Grand Prix distance.

    They could demote whichever Force India driver they do not plan to keep next year to Williams and put Lance in his Force India seat. The problem with that is that, if the "demoted" driver in the Williams is suddenly faster, it will not please Papa Stroll.

    Yep, it's time to put that myth to bed.

    Kubica will never make a full time come back in F1. Period.

    Also, Ocon and Perez have contracts, and they may object to being ditched to make room for Junior.

    From what I remember he did more than a full distance in those test sessions.

    I believe in Barcelona ( 2 weeks before Melbourne) testing, one day he more than doubled a GP race....so the stamina is there.

    The most recent GP win by Williams was Pastor Maldonado at Spain in 2012. The last win prior to that was Juan Pablo Montoya at Brazil 2004.

    It is not drama just business. Partner disagreements are simply business. i dont see drama in a sense but a lack of value will affect someone at some point. Never fails.

    I could see Daniil "Son of Pastor" Kvyat at Williams.

    Oh nooooo... keep Kvyat in the Ferrari simulator, he can do no harm to the red cars there (at least on track) :D

    Apparently it has failed in past business dealings between these partners. Otherwise, why would they set themselves up to get burned again?
